RFP 2025-036-9201179-LTA with qualified organizations to implement Skilling, Placement/Paid Employment, and Social Protection programs for young people across India

UNICEF has now issued a Request for Proposals in order to select a supplier for establishment of LTA with qualified organizations to implement Skilling, Placement/Paid Employment, and Social Protection programs for young people across India. The objective is to onboard multiple organizations on Long Term Agreements. Once LTAs are in place, YuWaah will issue individual contracts to these partners on a case-by-case basis, depending on specific program needs. This arrangement will ensure a pool of ready-to-engage partners for timely and efficient implementation of services. Each contract under the LTA may cover one or more services (in case LTA is established for multiple services) depending on the program requirements. LTA-based model will help YuWaah scale its impact by efficiently matching program needs with the expertise of LTA agencies. This tender will be run through the UNICEF e-submissions system.
