Summary of the contracting process

The Skills Funding Agency is seeking tenders for an ESF-funded project aimed at supporting individuals who are NEET (not in education, employment, or training) within the Swindon and Wiltshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) area. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on adult and other education services. The contract period is set to run from 14th April 2016 to 31st March 2018, with a total contract value of £899,450. The tender period concluded on 25th January 2016 and organisations interested in this opportunity would have previously needed to meet specific criteria to be eligible, including passing a registration refresh with the Skills Funding Agency.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for training and educational service providers, particularly those specialising in vocational training, apprenticeships, and support services aimed at unemployed individuals. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-positioned to compete for this contract, particularly if they have experience in delivering targeted educational programmes within the specified age range of 15-24. Engaging in this project can enhance their visibility and contribute to local workforce development initiatives, potentially leading to continued partnerships and service contracts in the education sector.
