Summary of the contracting process

The Oxford City Council is currently engaged in a public procurement process for the "ESOL and Cohesion Programme," aimed at addressing the English language needs of migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers in Oxford. This procurement falls under the category of education and training services, with a total contract value of £38,000. The tender was published on 9th November 2017, with the tender period set to close by 30th November 2017. The contract is intended to start on 25th June 2018 and run until 30th November 2018, and is being conducted through an open procedure, allowing all interested parties to submit proposals.

This opportunity presents significant potential for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in educational and community service delivery. Given the funding from the Controlling Migration Fund, businesses experienced in providing English as a Second Language (ESOL) courses or related support services will find this tender particularly relevant. Companies that can demonstrate a commitment to enhancing social cohesion and providing tailored educational services in the local context may be best positioned to compete effectively.

Notice Information

Notice Title

ESOL and Cohesion Programme

Notice Description

Oxford is home to a number of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers who have English language needs. Although multiple agencies provide a range of vital support, it has been identified that many migrants require additional support before they can attend accredited ESOL level 1 and similar courses. Non-accredited pre-Entry ESOL was identified as an area that required further support and consultation with ESOL providers identifying that longer courses would be beneficial. In August 2017 Oxford City Council was successful in gaining central government funding from the Controlling Migration Fund. Part of this funding is to provide unaccredited pre-entry ESOL and orientation courses; improve ESOL delivery in Oxford; and support the development of service packs. Funding is available for a two year programme, however year 2 funding is dependent on achievement of year 1 outcomes. We are looking for an organisation to deliver the following programme in the city of Oxford and benefitting residents in the ci
