For the Head of Programme Management –
Regeneration and Economic Development to award a contract to
Construction Youth Trust for the delivery of construction youth
employment and training intervention at a total cost of
£60,000. This is in accordance with CSO 8.03.

Reasons for the decision

With approved funding from S106 monies, this
programme is integral to improving employment and skills outcomes
for young people as Construction Youth Trust will engage with young
people, employers and other local partners provide a package of
transformative multidimensional, integrated and people-centred
provisions to support young people (between 11- 24 years old) along
their path to sustainable employment in the local regeneration and
construction labour market.

Alternative options considered

Do nothing - If the council were to adopt a do
nothing approach it would have a detrimental impact on the
Council’s ability to maximise opportunities for residents
through the Council’s investments; deliver youth focused
employment and skills outputs through the Council’s
investments; reduce the gap in the pipeline of job ready residents
to meet opportunities secured through the council’s levers;
to inform the design and delivery of skills training informed by
labour market intelligence.
