Management Information System: Invitation to Tender

Tender description

Groundwork UK has been successful in a stage 1 application to Building Better Opportunities (BBO) funded by the Big Lottery Fund (BLF) and European Social Fund (ESF). Groundwork and its partners will deliver ‘Progress’ – a tailored programme of coaching support and bespoke activities to NEET and at risk of NEET young people aged between 15 and 24, enabling them to access training and employment opportunities. Progress brings together a unique partnership of local organisations – with support from local councils – to transform the prospects of some of the most marginalised young people in Coventry and Warwickshire. Our partnership will ensure that young people facing the most significant barriers to accessing learning and work are able to recognise their talents and realise their potential. Groundwork UK is looking to contract an organisation to provide a management information system for the duration of programme. The successful system will allow us to gather, collate and analyse core participant data in line with ESF/BLF rules, and avoid the need for partners to transfer sensitive data through insecure means. The Progress partnership will be led and managed by Groundwork UK, who will be responsible for ensuring high quality and compliant delivery within a supportive partnership framework, geared towards sharing learning and driving continuous improvement. Partnership governance arrangements will be underpinned by a Partnership Agreement setting out clear roles and responsibilities. Partners and stakeholders will oversee performance through an inclusive steering group, and a dedicated young person’s steering group will ensure activities remain relevant and youth-led. The successful system will be required to incorporate certain criteria, a full list of which can be found in the Invitation to Tender along with further information regarding the opportunity.
