MYD is seeking to replace Service(s) in the Dunedin, and/or Clutha, and/or Waitaki Districts. MYD wishes to purchase Service(s) that will contribute to the Youth Enterprise eco-system supporting young people aged 12-24 years at various points along their entrepreneurial journey.
The Building Entrepreneurial Capital Fund (BECF) (targeting 15–24-year-olds) will provide young people with enterprise experiences and knowledge needed to create a business. Young people will have the opportunity to develop their business ideas; they will create a ‘business model canvas’, a one-page business model template designed to help articulate, test, and refine business ideas (or an approved alternative business plan) and budget, by the end of the programme. Young people will be supported through mentoring or youth worker relationships as they explore how they choose to engage in their community and the economy. MYD intends to provide up to full funding for opportunities that invest in long-term, relational-focused programme delivery of local programmes. Funded programmes will have a minimum delivery period of at least ten weeks.
MYD aims to focus investment in early intervention and prevention programmes that are high-value and outcome-driven, and that prevent young people identified as having low to moderate needs progressing towards remedial and highly intensive services.
This opportunity is advertised on the Government Electronic Tender Service (GETS) and MSD Purchasing and Finance System (called Weka).
