NNC is seeking providers who can offer non-classroom-based activities to engage target populations effectively. The procurement stage is currently open, with a deadline for submission set at 5PM on March 25, 2024. The project is scheduled to start in April 2024 and conclude by March 2025. The industry categories for this opportunity are adult and other education services, along with training services, suitable for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs).

The project will focus on empowering individuals with essential skills applicable in personal and work life contexts. The grant-based procurement method offers a chance to deliver projects with volume and pace, highlighting value for money. By engaging with local employers and the VCSE sector, businesses can maximise their reach to priority groups, contributing to community development while enhancing their business portfolios.
