Summary of the contracting process

The Capital City Partnership is currently undertaking a tender process for the "Network of Employability Support and Training – Vocational Training Framework," aimed at enhancing employability and vocational training services across six local authorities in Edinburgh and South-East Scotland. The procurement is in the planning stage, with the anticipated future notice date set for 15 January 2022. This initiative involves a total contract value of £3 million and focuses on various service categories, including health and social care, digital and creative sectors, and hospitality. The main objectives include upskilling individuals seeking employment and those in jobs but facing economic uncertainties.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the training, education, and employment sectors, particularly those specialising in vocational training and employability services. Companies that can deliver innovative training solutions or support frameworks that enhance skills for diverse populations will be well-suited to compete. The collaboration between CCP and successful framework providers is intended to build partnerships rather than traditional funder-recipient relationships, creating a potential for ongoing business engagement and growth in the sector.

Notice Title

Network of Employability Support and Training - Vocational Training Framework

Notice Description

The Capital City Partnership ("CCP") is currently working on a new Network of Employability Support and Training (NEST) Vocational Training Framework programme ("the Framework") on behalf of the six local authorities under the Edinburgh and South-East Scotland City Region Deal (Edinburgh, Fife, Scottish Border, West Lothian, Mid Lothian, and East Lothian) and the University of Edinburgh and Napier University. The new Framework will provide employability and vocational training to complement current employability and skills support provisions. It will offer upskilling and progression opportunities for both those seeking employment and those in employment but facing uncertainty in their work or in-work poverty. Through the agreement established by the Framework (the "Framework Agreement"), CCP aims to provide funding to and work alongside organisations and we see the future relationship with successful framework providers as a partnership rather than that of a traditional funder/grant recipient.
