## Description

Since 2019, GMACS \(the Greater Manchester Apprenticeship and Careers Service\) has been helping young people in Greater Manchester access information about their future careers, skills and work\. As a key Mayoral manifesto commitment, GMCA is now looking to safeguard the future of GMACS by re-procuring the Careers Platform\. GMACS comprises both a front-end website, accessible to all for free, and a careers platform back end, which is available to schools at no cost but requires students have a login\. This procurement exercise is for the careers platform back end, currently provided by CASCAID \(Xello\)\. This service is currently in use by around 120 schools across GM, and therefore GMCA is looking to provide continuation of that service as well as providing contractual security to continue expanding the service to as many young people in GM as possible\. The GMACS Careers Platform is an important part of the Mayor and GMCA's digital offer to young people\. This includes Curriculum For Life, Our Pass, and the Mayor's ambition around a Greater Manchester Baccalaureate \(MBacc\) and a technical education city region\. The expectation of the proposal submitted would need to be aware of, and responsive to, GMCA's ongoing needs in this area, as well as the wider context in which GMCA are continuing to develop services for residents, as set out in the Greater Manchester Strategy\.
