This contract falls under the general public services industry category and covers a wide range of training needs including technical, vocational, and growth area-focused courses. The procurement process was conducted using a restricted procedure, with the initial tender published in July 2024 and the contract subsequently awarded in January 2025.

Lot Information

Lot 1

A wide variety of training requirements are required by the Council to meet its needs to facilitate training, upskilling and learning across the Council (employees) and the Borough (residents). The Council aims to be able to provide a broad range of individual courses, qualifications and training for employees and residents as required, in addition to planned, bespoke courses/training packages/pathways for groups or individuals. Courses can include technical and vocational qualifications, licences, and courses with a specific focus on growth areas aligning to local labour market needs. Qualifications and courses can range from entry level upwards, accredited to non-accredited courses and general additional learning and training. The DPS can be utilised by all departments across the Local Authority. However, in particular the Council has developed a robust, single employment support model through the coordinated delivery of Welsh Government's Communities for Work Plus (CfW+) and the UK Government's Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF) People and Skills Pillar (and any other schemes / grants that the Council can potentially receive). As part of this model the Caerphilly Employability Team support our residents (both employed and unemployed) to gain appropriate and relevant qualifications as well as access to courses to enable them to upskill and obtain employment in their chosen route and this DPS will also assist in the Council meeting these objectives. Training provision will typically be required (but not limited to) for requirements related to the following areas however it should be noted the Council reserves the right to include other services linked to the subject matter of this DPS: - - Construction. - Rail. - Civil & Plant. - Security. - Administration. - Hospitality. - Care. - Green Skills. - HGV/Driving. - Hair & Beauty. - General Employment Focused Courses. - Wellbeing and Mental Health First Aid - Soft Skills. - Creative & Media. - Housing & Estates. - Numeracy and maths courses ranging from entry level - level 2. - Essential Skills Wales. - Family Learning courses / qualifications
