The tender period is set to conclude on 30th July 2024, with the contract expected to commence from 31st July 2024 to 1st August 2024.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses, especially those involved in skills training and educational services.

## Notice

Adult Education Budget (AEB) is allocated to providers by the Education & Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) on an annual basis. Cheshire West and Chester Council receives AEB funding for the purpose of supporting flexible tailored programmes of learning targeted at those furthest from engaging in learning or the workplace. In providing accessible high-quality education and skills provision Cheshire West & Chester Council offers its residents opportunities to gain the skills needed for entering and sustaining work, an apprenticeship/traineeship, or other further learning. Through this Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) - under the light touch regime, Cheshire West & Chester Council (CW&C) is looking for the opportunity to develop new relationships with post-16 skills and training providers. Providers should focus on progression outcomes for learners and ensure provision, even at lower levels, is clearly aligned to the needs of employers and growth sectors within the borough.
