Summary of the contracting process

Gateshead College is currently in the tender stage for its "Framework of Training Providers for Skills Bootcamp Delivery" project, seeking to establish a framework agreement with training providers. This initiative focuses on a variety of industry sectors such as Construction, Engineering & Manufacturing, and Digital, with specific requirements to deliver courses for Adult Learners across the North East region of the United Kingdom. A pre-market engagement webinar is scheduled for 26th November 2024, at 15:30, to outline the procurement process and requirements further. This framework is dependent on future funding from the Department for Education and the North East Combined Authority, with the contract period expected to run from 1st February 2025 to 31st January 2029.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for training providers, particularly SMEs, with established employer relationships and the ability to deliver high-quality, workforce-aligned training programmes. It invites participation from diverse sectors including, but not limited to, Health & Social Care, Hospitality, and Green Construction. By becoming a supplier under this framework, businesses can leverage Gateshead College’s existing funding streams and potentially secure long-term contracts contingent on future funding, providing a stable pipeline of opportunities to expand their service offerings and market reach.

Notice Title

Framework of Training Providers for Skills Bootcamp Delivery

Notice Description

Gateshead College provides industry inspired education and training that equips people not only with the skills and qualifications they need to get on, but also the character and mindset that will set them apart. We call it education with employment edge. The College intends to procure a framework of training providers, with whom we may partner with in the delivery of Skills Bootcamps, on a subcontract basis. We hold current funding from Department for Education (DfE) and North East Combined Authority (NECA) for these programmes. Contracts awarded under this proposed framework agreement will be dependent on the College being awarded future funding to provide these types of programmes. Skills Bootcamps are UK Government funded programmes for Adult Learners age 19+. These are flexible programmes that last up to 16 weeks and must offer participants a guaranteed job interview on completion (for independent/unemployed learners). We are interested in engaging delivery partners able to meet specific industry and sector need, and who bring high quality teaching and learning and hold established employer relationships. We are seeking providers able to deliver across a wide range of sectors including: - Construction - Engineering & Manufacturing - Digital - Logistics - Creative & Screen Industry, Design - Project Management - Culture & Events - Hospitality - Health & Social Care - Early Years/Childcare - Business & People Management - Education, Learning & Training - Pathways into Accelerated Apprenticeships - Green Construction / Power / Transport - Other North East priority sectors not covered above We will be holding a pre-market engagement webinar at 15:30 on Tuesday 26th November. During the webinar, we will provide more details about our requirements and the procurement process.
