Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Construction Skills for Growth & Productivity" is managed by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and is aimed at enhancing training capabilities within the education and training services sector. The contract, valued at £1.2 million, is set to run from 31 January 2022 to 30 September 2023. This initiative is currently in the Award stage, following a selective procurement process through a framework agreement. The training projects are targeted to impact a minimum of 1,000 individuals in the North West region of the United Kingdom, with the tender period having ended on 29 November 2021.

This opportunity presents substantial growth potential for businesses within the training and development sector, especially those specialising in construction skills. Companies focused on upskilling multi-trades, construction business management, and digital transformation will find this an advantageous space to compete, given the focus on staff retention and quality service delivery. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to engage, as this initiative aligns with their capabilities and innovation in workforce training.

Notice Title

Construction Skills for Growth & Productivity

Notice Description

This specification is part of a longer-term plan to develop skills to ensure that the sector is better able to recruit and retain staff, whilst improving the quality of the service. Upskilling and investing in staff training and development has been highlighted as a key factor in reducing staff turnover. Programmes launched as part of this specification will not be the totality of provision procured in this sector; it compliments activity previously commissioned as part of the Retrofit commission and focuses on specific skills needs and concerns that have been identified at present. GMCA is commissioned a package worth PS1.2m to deliver key training within this sector before September 2023. This will be for a total delivery package consisting of multiple projects. In total, a minimum of 1,000 unique individuals will be upskilled with new competencies equipping them to succeed in this sector. We expect this will be delivered against three training strands, which have been identified working in partnership with employers: * Training Strand 1: Upskilling Multi-trades * Training Strand 2: Construction Business Management * Training Strand 3: Digital Transformation The overarching aim of the package is to improve skills, create pathways for progression, and prepare people for higher apprenticeships. This opportunity was ran as a further competition through the GMCA Education, Work and Skill Flexible Procurement System and only eligible providers were invited to bid for this restricted opportunity via the Chest.
