Opportunity overview

This is a one-off procurement and is grant funded. An exemption has been employed and is therefore outside of HBC Contract Procedure Rules. The Local Youth Transformation Pilot review identified 9 key areas for development across Hartlepool Youth Services that could be funded by the pilot in line with the grant conditions. The need for 5-year strategy, curriculum, QA framework and training for staff across Hartlepool in all sectors was highlighted. The fund has an extremely tight turnaround, and work is expected immediately with all monies needing to be spent by August 31st, 2026. The need for 5-year strategy, curriculum, QA framework and training for staff across Hartlepool in all sectors was highlighted. The fund has an extremely tight turnaround, and work is expected immediately with all monies needing to be spent by August 31st, 2026. Services identifed under this initiative included the following : - Development of a 5 year strategic plan - Development of a quality practice framework across Hartlepool - Quality practice consultancy support - Quality practice training - Digital Quality Mark - training and support - Development of a Youth work curriculum - Youth work curriculum training As part of the funding plan, HBC had already approached the National Youth Agency for costings and to see if they are able to meet the time frame of the fund and deliver the reviews objectives, to which they can. The reasoning for choosing the National Youth Agency is that they are the Professional Statutory and Regulation Body (PSRB) for youth work in England. They enable and support high quality youth work across a range of settings to benefit the health and outcome of young people. They are the national driver behind youth work standards and quality and are respected by our Local VCFS. They are supporting the DCMS on largescale projects for young people such as Youth Investment Fund, to which we have been part of and HBC's experience of working with them has been excellent.
