Notice Description

The purpose of engaging the market at this time is to: - Understand learner needs in non-devolved areas and what kind of provision needs to be prioritised. - Understand issues or blockers to ESFA AEB and Free Courses for Jobs delivery, reflections on previous procurements and use this to explore potential delivery models and performance standards. - Discuss how potential procurement will interact with the proposed FE reforms and potential further devolution of skills provision. This includes the possible introduction of new funding rates, accountability arrangements, and the implications of devolution deals for contracts which are currently being consulted upon. - Test market capacity to deliver ESFA AEB amongst other procurements occurring across the skills landscape including Multiply, Skills Bootcamps, Free Courses for Jobs, Traineeships and the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. We are keen to discuss experiences of ESFA AEB procured provision and therefore we will be hosting a series of market engagement opportunities across England.
