Notice Title
Framework Agreement for Network of Employability Support and Training - Vocational Training Framework 2022-2026
Notice Description
CCP aims to establish a new Network of Employability Support and Training (NEST) Vocational Training Framework programme ("the Framework") on behalf of the six local authorities under the ESES CRD (Edinburgh, Fife, Scottish Border, West Lothian, Mid Lothian, and East Lothian) and the University of Edinburgh and Napier University. It is anticipated that other public bodies may also look to make use of the Framework once established. 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 work alongside organisations and we see the future relationship with successful framework providers as a partnership.

MiscellaneousLot 9 will enable CCP (or any Buyer) to call off training providers to deliver training answering to general requirements which CCP (or any Buyer) may have from time to time/ad hoc. Accordingly, CCP require that providers bidding for Lot 9 are flexible and reactive to CCP and any Buyer developing needs (whether the service providers supply the training themselves or whether they use a subcontractor). As with all other Lots, CCP will appoint up to 3 training providers for Lot 9, which training providers demonstrate the broadest range of training programmes (and the most significant experience). The envisioned intention of the miscellaneous lot is not to capture every possible eventuality (as this is simply not practicable in the circumstances), but to cover situations whereby a requirement arises that doesn't quite sit in any of the other lots, and whereby a service provider may be able to provide the requirement.
Renewal: Following the initial 3-year period of the Framework Agreement, and at the sole discretion of CCP, the Framework Agreement may be extended by a further period of 1 year.
