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.

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.
