Notice Title

AT1246 Approved Provider List for Trusted Partners Skills

Notice Description

All documents are available on the ProContract / Proactis / Due North e-tendering portal. Luton Adult Learning uses ESFA grant funding currently Community Learning (from 24/25 "Tailored Learning") to commission/subcontract a small amount of delivery to local grass roots organisations. As additional funding streams are released; for example by Government e.g. Multiply, UKSPF and others we would like to have an Approved Provider List for Trusted Partners in place so that we can streamline subcontracting to local Providers. Funding streams are often confirmed by funding body late, leaving little time for a full procurement process. Using an APL will mean that learning can start sooner and targets are more likely to be met. Meeting targets can result in more funding in the future. 1.1.
