The contract will involve sub-contracting some of the delivery to reach targeted residents and specific geographical areas. The procurement is being undertaken in compliance with the Light Touch Regime. Interested bidders must apply for an Approved Providers List and go through a mini-competition exercise for contract awards. The deadline for responses to the tender is 29th March 2023, with the contract period starting on 1st May 2023 and ending on 31st March 2024. The procurement is categorised under 'Adult and other education services'. This tender opportunity to deliver educational services presents a chance for businesses specialising in adult education and related services to grow their operations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate. Businesses capable of tailored service delivery to specific target groups and areas within Buckinghamshire would be well-suited to compete in this mini-competition exercise to secure service delivery contracts within the Approved Providers List. ## Notice Buckinghamshire Adult Learning (BAL) is a service area within Buckinghamshire Council (the Council), which has a contract funded by the Department of Education (DfE) to deliver a three-year Multiply project across Buckinghamshire. Some of this project will be directly delivered by BAL but, in order to fully use Buckinghamshire's Multiply funding allocation and address all the chosen interventions of the Council, it will sub-contract part of this delivery. This enables BAL to deliver to targeted residents and in geographical areas that it would otherwise be unable to reach. This is a procurement exercise undertaken in compliance with the Light Touch Regime. Bidders are invited to apply for an Approved Providers Lists, within which a mini-competition exercise will be carried out to award contracts for the delivery of the services. The Council will assess responses to Stage 1 and potential providers who achieve PASS in all requirements will be admitted to the Approved Providers List. Those potential providers admitted to the Approved Providers List on Stage 1 will then be evaluated on Stage 2 (Mini-Competition) - please refer to Stage 2 documents for instructions. Contracts for the delivery of the services will be awarded to the Approved Providers that are successful in the Mini-Competition exercise - please refer to Stage 2 documents for evaluation criteria and methodology. Bidders should refer to the procurement documents for deadline of response for each Stage. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c382060b-d8be-4e34-9398-d43904c0cdbb | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Mar 2023 | | Submission deadline | 29 Mar 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2023 - 31 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BUCKINGHAMSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | AYLESBURY | | Post town | Hemel Hempstead | | Postcode | HP20 1UA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ13 Buckinghamshire | | Local authority | Buckinghamshire | | Electoral ward | Aylesbury North | | Westminster constituency | Aylesbury | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80400000 - Adult and other education services ## Release History - 20 Mar 2023 at 19:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c382060b-d8be-4e34-9398-d43904c0cdbb ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c382060b-d8be-4e34-9398-d43904c0cdbb 20th March 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=43c11fc1-39a6-ed11-811f-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
