Summary of the contracting process

The current procurement process is being led by Cornwall Marine Network Limited for the "Employer Led Skills provider framework update - Training Providers" project. This initiative, financed through the European Structural and Investment Funds, aims to address skills gaps in the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly (C&IoS) region by providing business-led training programmes. The procurement is at the award stage with the contract period set from 19 July 2021 to 31 March 2022. The total value of the contract awarded is £168,563, and the procurement utilised an open method below threshold. The framework is particularly focused on the education and training services industry, with all training activities required to take place geographically within C&IoS.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs), to contribute to a framework that addresses various training needs, including marine, finance, health and safety, and construction. Providers that can deliver bespoke training solutions across these sectors will be well-positioned to compete. The geographical requirement means that businesses operating in or near Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly are particularly suited for participation in this framework, allowing them to expand their service offerings while supporting local workforce development.

Notice Title

Employer Led Skills provider framework update - Training Providers

Notice Description

Cornwall Marine Network has secured project funding through the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) for a project named Employer Led Skills (ELS). The project will provide a strategic approach to addressing identified skills gaps across Cornwall & Isles of Scilly through delivery of business-led programmes designed to upskill the workforce. Please note: all training delivery must take place in C&IoS. A training framework has been created that includes a core number of freelance tutors, training providers and consultancy services, making readily accessible a wealth of training and development opportunities for SME businesses across C&IoS. At regular intervals the framework is being reviewed and additional providers invited to submit proposals for inclusion. Training opportunities must be geographically spread across the County in order to be able to service the needs of employers in North, Mid and West Cornwall, and the Isles of Scilly. Employers will be able to pick from a predetermined offer hosted by the individuals and organisations on the Framework. Further to this, those named on the Framework should be able to design and deliver bespoke training as required by employers and agreed by CMN as part of the ELS project. Training will be delivered across sectors and as such the framework will include an offer that covers a wide scope of provision. At the point of this framework review it has been identified that the following areas of training are not adequately covered and so training providers in the areas outlined below are invited to submit a proposal for inclusion: * Marine: short courses focused on sustainable energy, lifeguard qualifications, marine renewables, environmental/waste solutions, water sports instruction * Finance: finance for non-finance managers, introduction/basics of accounting * Health & Safety (and related): sector specific H&S courses as well as generic delivery including NEBOSH accredited short courses, ISO training, producing risk assessments, stewarding /marshalling training * Sector specific short courses: in areas such as digital solutions, CAD, arboriculture, LEAN training * Construction: digger, forklift, tele-handling, chainsaw use, banksman training In order to apply for inclusion on the Framework, individuals and organisations must submit a proposal using the provided template. Additional information: Please note: it is a requirement of the ESF Employer Led Skills project that all delivery must take place in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Therefore only tenders from individuals and organisations who can physically deliver within the county and on the IoS will be considered.
