This contract, valued at £1,500,000, is part of an open procurement process and is currently in the award stage, having been awarded to Total People Ltd. The contract period is set to commence from 21 December 2018 until 21 January 2022. The tender process concluded on 5 November 2018, with the initial award notice published on 1 February 2019. The services will be delivered across various locations, including the British Overseas Territories and the United Kingdom. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in educational services or training support. Organisations capable of delivering personalised learners' support, classroom sessions, and effective feedback mechanisms would be well-suited to compete in this market. Given the projected recruitment of approximately 2,500 learners in operational roles over the next few years, there is scope for both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in this growth area, providing tailored training services to meet the operational needs of the Ministry of Justice. ## Notice The provider of Essential Skills will support staff to achieve these qualifications via an initial assessment process which will ascertain what current level the learner is working to in a functional skills capacity. Should the learner fall short of level 2, a support package is created to assist the learner to achieve level 2 and further levels if necessary, according to the requirements of the Apprenticeship. The initial assessment should offer a transparent and formulated process, ensuring both literacy and numeracy are assessed and that all relevant Management Information can be audited either by the MOJ or Ofsted. The Ministry of Justice anticipates that there will be substantial recruitment in operational roles over the next 3 - 5 years with an approximate number of e 2,500 learners. Therefore, the provider of Essential Skills must have the capacity to provide the appropriate service taking into account the potential volume of learners. The provider will be required to supply the following on a day to day basis:- - 1 -1 support via phone or email to the individual learner - Face to face classroom sessions - local to the learner i.e. establishment learning centre - Feedback on progress with advice and guidance on how the learner can improve - Feedback on learner progress to management - Management information when requested Additional information: More information is available at https://ministryofjusticecommercial.bravosolution.co.uk ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b5890394-5d33-4ac3-9c2f-e1dc9679a1d1 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Feb 2019 | | Submission deadline | 5 Nov 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 14 Jan 2019 | | Contract period | 21 Dec 2018 - 21 Jan 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £1,500,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF JUSTICE. | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 4AP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Hunslet & Riverside | | Westminster constituency | Leeds South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | TOTAL PEOPLE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 1 Feb 2019 at 15:38 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b5890394-5d33-4ac3-9c2f-e1dc9679a1d1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b5890394-5d33-4ac3-9c2f-e1dc9679a1d1 1st February 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://ministryofjusticecommercial.bravosolution.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
