Published requirement description

The funding for children and young people’s programmes intends to build an inclusive

economy, where all children and young people have equal opportunities to realise their

potential and be part of the region’s future success.

To achieve this, we are reopening the opportunity to apply to the Children and Young People’s Flexible Procurement Framework and inviting a wide range of organisations and providers including public and private sector, independent training organisations, Voluntary and Community Sector Organisations (VCSE) organisations and other stakeholders, to tender for a place on the

Framework.

The Flexible Procurement Framework will be utilised to procure providers for North East CA

investment fund allocation for education improvement and child poverty prevention

programmes.

Note: Whilst the Buyer in the Contact Details is listed as “North Tyneside Council”, this entry

is system generated. For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer in this case is the North East Combined Authority. North Tyneside Council are conducting this procurement on

North East CA's behalf

Lots and requirements (2)Procurement structure

2 lots · all with a published value · evaluation weights differ by lot

Every one of these 2 lots carries the same published figure, £25,000,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

Lot #1Child Poverty PreventionRenewalceiling above

The principal purpose of the Child Poverty Prevention Programme (CPPP) is to build on the

work currently being undertaken by Newcastle, Northumberland, and North Tyneside local

authorities to systematically address the causes of child poverty across the North of Tyne. In

consultation with partners, a programme of work comprised of four pillars has been

developed:

Pillar 1: Funding an innovative programme of poverty interventions in schools across the

North of Tyne

Pillar 2: Financial support through the school gate

Pillar 3: Working with employers to tackle child poverty

Pillar 4: The Critical 1,001 days

The project addresses the symptoms of child poverty through Pillar 1, supports families

directly to assist in building financial resilience through Pillar 2 and works with employers to

further address some of the causes of child poverty through Pillar 3. Pillar 4 is focussed on

the first critical 1,001 days to mitigate the impact of socio-economic disadvantage on our

youngest residents.

The North East CA child poverty prevention programme is currently fully-funded through North East CA’s Investment Fund.
