Economic Development & Enterprise
The Economy and Enterprise Commissioning Board wishes to reduce the number of young people, 16 to 19 year olds, who are not in education, employment or training. (NEET)
Whilst statutory provision exists across the Borough through the work of Connexions and Positive Steps Oldham to support this group, the Board recognises the need for additional complimentary activity within Oldham’s most deprived wards.
Evaluation of earlier delivery has shown that the Voluntary and Community Sector play an important role in engaging and supporting young people, including those regarded as “harder to reach” by providing facilities in local communities that are accessed by those who are NEET and those who are at risk of becoming so. As such the Board is seeking Expressions of Interest from this sector alone to put forward proposals to engage with this cohort and provide activities and ongoing support that progresses this particular client group onto Education Employment or Training (EET) programmes.
Expressions of Interest are invited from potential Delivery Agents, who would like to undertake this Commissioned Activity. Further details are contained in the documents below. Expressions of Interest should be submitted on the template provided and addressed as below to arrive no later than 4.00 p.m. Friday 5th September 2008. It is the responsibility of the potential Delivery Agent to ensure that the signed, hard copy of the document have been received at the Oldham Business Centre within the stated deadline.
An electronic version should also be emailed to:
