Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets is initiating a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Apprenticeship Training and Education services, responding to the requirements set by the Apprenticeship Levy implemented on 6th April 2017. The procurement process is currently at the Tender stage, with the tender period concluding on 15th January 2018. The total estimated value of this opportunity is £37,800,000, and it aims to serve various London Boroughs including Hackney, Islington, Barnet, Haringey, Barking and Dagenham, Hillingdon, and Hounslow. Participation requires suppliers to be registered as Main Route Providers on the Education and Skills Funding Agency Register of Approved Training Providers.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly those that are registered providers with the Education and Skills Funding Agency. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete for this contract, given the open and dynamic nature of the procurement process. Engaging with this DPS could allow sector-specific organisations to expand their service delivery to multiple councils while contributing to the workforce development efforts in London.
