SEND Post 16 Supported Internships

The Government's 'Preparing for Adulthood' agenda places a statutory requirement upon Local Authorities to prepare young people for the world of work from Year 9 onwards. Supported Internships are a UK wide initiative that provide a balance between educational learning and work experience where interns are able to apply the skills learnt in practice.

Hackney Council will be creating a framework of up to three suitably qualified providers for Post 16 Support Internships and is inviting providers to register their interest in this upcoming tender opportunity. The tender will be published in late February under the Public Contract Regulations(2025). The framework will commence in October 2025.

To register your interest in the upcoming tender please register on the London Tender Portal to be notified when the tender is issued. For queries about the framework please contact Aneurin Wood, Post 16 Lead, High Needs and School Places, aneurin.wood@hackney.gov.uk.
