This initiative falls under the industry category of Technical and vocational secondary education services and is located in the South East of England. The procurement method follows an open procedure, and the tender process has recently concluded, with the award date dated 14th January 2022 and the contract period commencing from 25th January 2022 to 31st August 2022. The total value of the contract is £40,000, with 100 funded places to be provided across various courses. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly those with experience in vocational training for young people. The ability to partner with the local NEET support service is particularly beneficial, as bidders will need to assist in sourcing participants for the courses offered. Companies that can demonstrate a strong capacity to deliver educational programmes and have previous experience in engaging with young demographics would be well-positioned to compete effectively for these contracts. ## Notice Kent County Council are looking to procure a service that meets the below objectives: The Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card is a prerequisite for employment on building sites. The course to obtain it is popular with young people, particularly with the Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) cohort. Currently, due to funding issues, there is limited availability for 16-19 year-olds to complete this course without paying for it themselves. Kent County Council is seeking to provide 100 funded places over a three/four-month period until the European Social Fund begins to fund this activity. Each course will offer 10 places. Kent County Council expects courses will be delivered in 6 locations with places for 10 young people in each course. Each location will be one lot. Bidders may bid for as many lots as they like. There will be 10 young people per cohort, and within lots 1-4 there must be 2 courses running, therefore will have 20 young people each lot. Bidders will be working closely with the NEET support service to roll out these courses. They will also support with finding relevant students. Should bidders not find 10 students, they may seek external referrals from their usual sources. The delivery provider will be expected to work with the local NEET support service staff to fill the course. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e7f4061-538e-4ed7-bde8-55855f12955e | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | 10 Jan 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 14 Jan 2022 | | Contract period | 25 Jan 2022 - 31 Aug 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £40,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £10,000 | | 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 | KENT COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | MAIDSTONE | | Post town | Rochester | | Postcode | ME14 1XQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ45 Mid Kent | | Local authority | Maidstone | | Electoral ward | Penenden Heath | | Westminster constituency | Maidstone and Malling | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | RUNWAY TRAINING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80210000 - Technical and vocational secondary education services ## Release History - 11 Feb 2022 at 10:27 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e7f4061-538e-4ed7-bde8-55855f12955e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e7f4061-538e-4ed7-bde8-55855f12955e 11th February 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.kent.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
