Notice Description

Cheshire East Lifelong Learning (CE LL) is inviting potential partners to join its approved supplier list for the procurement of Adult Education Budget provision for the residents of the Borough. CE LL is funded as the lead body for Adult Education Budget provision and will be sub-contracting work under this funding stream. Potential providers will need to meet the eligibility criteria outlined in the service specification in order to be considered for the list. The approved supplier list will be split into lots as below: Lot 1 Adult Education Budget Provision: Accredited Learning Lot 2 Adult Education Budget Provision: Health and Wellbeing Programmes (Non-accredited learning) Lot 3 Adult Education Budget Provision: Taster/Engagement Programmes (Non-accredited learning) Lot 4 Adult Education Budget Provision: Longer programmes leading to Employment Outcomes (Non-accredited learning) A proportion of the funding will be targeted at the 19+ age group who face challenges securing sustainable employment. The non-accredited learning will focus on turning around the lives of local people and maximising the impact of public funding on the social and economic wellbeing of individuals, families and communities with a strong focus on those who are most disadvantaged. A proportion of funding will be accredited learning and will be focused on unemployed individuals within the Borough who are eligible for full funding as outlined in the service specification. Commissioned provision will be aimed at entry level to level 2. This learning will be targeted at meeting local wellbeing and employment priorities in a number of subject areas. A proportion of funding will also be for qualified and experienced sessional tutors.
