Bidders are expected to work together with businesses to identify specific numeracy skills required in the workplace. More specifically, bidders are expected to: a) work with businesses to develop and deliver training courses that are bespoke to the sector the business operates in, or the business itself. b) develop courses aimed at people who cannot apply for certain jobs because of lack of numeracy skills and / or to encourage people to upskill in numeracy in order to access a certain job/ career. c) Develop additional relevant maths modules embedded into other vocational courses. Eligible target learners are adults 19+ who have not previously attained a GCSE Grade 4/C or higher maths qualification. They can either be working towards a maths GCSE or Functional Skills Qualification or need specific numeracy skills for their work or progression. Expected duration of training courses is between 6 to 10 guided learning hours. Substantive learning (formal or informal) is defined as learning being delivered in two or more hours. All substantive learning will be recorded in the Individualised Learner Record (ILR) monthly. Suppliers will need to submit the ILR directly to the Department for Education via IDAMS. Where a supplier is unable to use IDAMS, it should submit via the ILR input tool. Suppliers will need to provide ECC with a copy of the ILR using an ECC template. Department for Education (DfE) has confirmed that Multiply training / learning will not be subject to Ofsted inspections in Year 2 (2023-2024). Outreach activities (a.k.a. non-substantive learning) should not be recorded in the ILR. Instead, the full name, postcode and date of birth should be recorded on a separate return to ECC monthly, which will then be shared by ECC with the Department for Education. It is entirely appropriate for suppliers to collect more information from adults involved in outreach activities to enable them to follow up and market Multiply to those engaged. Proposed provision under this mini competition must be unique and not a continuation of previously funded programmes that have been awarded under this Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). If a proposal is found to be an extension of previous funding, ECC reserves the right to reject the proposal.", "status": "complete", "classification": { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "80000000", "description": "Education and training services" }, "items": [ { "id": "1", "deliveryAddresses": [ { "region": "England", "countryName": "United Kingdom" } ] } ], "value": { "amount": 150000, "currency": "GBP" }, "procurementMethod": "selective", "procurementMethodDetails": "Restricted procedure", "tenderPeriod": { "endDate": "2023-11-20T12:00:00Z" }, "contractPeriod": { "startDate": "2024-01-03T00:00:00Z", "endDate": "2025-01-02T23:59:59Z" }, "suitability": { "sme": true, "vcse": true }, "mainProcurementCategory": "services" }, "parties": [ { "id": "GB-CFS-186008", "name": "Essex County Council", "identifier": { "legalName": "Essex County Council" }, "address": { "streetAddress": "County Hall, Market Road", "locality": "Chelmsford", "postalCode": "CM1 1QH", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, "contactPoint": { "name": "Andrew Beaver", "email": "Andrew.beaver@essex.gov.uk" }, "details": { "url": "https://www.essex.gov.uk/" }, "roles": [ "buyer" ] }, { "id": "GB-CFS-293443", "name": "Eden College of Human Resource", "identifier": { "legalName": "Eden College of Human Resource" }, "address": { "streetAddress": "Development and Management Studies Limited, 34 Mawney Road, Romford, RM7 7HR" }, "details": { "scale": "sme", "vcse": false }, "roles": [ "supplier" ] }, { "id": "GB-CFS-293444", "name": "Excelsis Training Limited", "identifier": { "legalName": "Excelsis Training Limited" }, "address": { "streetAddress": "12 Old Bexley Lane, Bexley, DA5 2BN" }, "details": { "scale": "sme", "vcse": false }, "roles": [ "supplier" ] }, { "id": "GB-CFS-293320", "name": "Opportunities Workshop Limited", "identifier": { "legalName": "Opportunities Workshop Limited" }, "address": { "streetAddress": "12 Northgate Street, Ipswich, IP1 3DB" }, "details": { "scale": "large", "vcse": false }, "roles": [ "supplier" ] } ], "buyer": { "id": "GB-CFS-186008", "name": "Essex County Council" }, "awards": [ { "id": "ocds-b5fd17-2af3b349-c9a0-4cb8-84ab-9a7288901f95-1", "status": "active", "date": "2023-12-06T00:00:00Z", "datePublished": "2024-08-23T11:44:58+01:00", "value": { "amount": 150000, "currency": "GBP" }, "suppliers": [ { "id": "GB-CFS-293443", "name": "Eden College of Human Resource" }, { "id": "GB-CFS-293444", "name": "Excelsis Training Limited" }, { "id": "GB-CFS-293320", "name": "Opportunities Workshop Limited" } ], "contractPeriod": { "startDate": "2024-01-03T00:00:00Z", "endDate": "2025-01-02T23:59:59Z" }, "description": "Eden College of Human Resource: Grant award - 28,600 Excelsis Training Limited: Grant award - 89,600 Opportunities Workshop Limited: Grant award - 33,600", "documents": [ { "id": "1", "documentType": "awardNotice", "description": "Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder", "url": "https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8692523d-cf1f-4c01-8bee-402e6fcaefcd", "datePublished": "2024-08-23T11:44:58+01:00", "format": "text/html", "language": "en" } ] } ] }
