This procurement falls under the training services category, with a focus on enabling individuals to develop essential maintenance skills. Key milestones include an engagement end date on 29 June 2019, with additional documents available for market engagement and bidding. The project is anticipated to support skill development and job readiness among participants, seeking innovative approaches to engage landlords and other stakeholders. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the training, employment support, and home improvement sectors. Enterprises that specialise in skills development, especially those targeting soft skills, DIY training, and pathways to self-employment, would be well-suited to participate. By addressing the acute needs identified in the local community, businesses can contribute to sustainably improving living conditions while fostering employment opportunities for participants, thus enhancing their market presence and community impact. ## Notice AMLAG03: Working with tenants of public and private housing provision (including Houses of Multiple Occupation) as well as homeowners to develop basic home and property maintenance skills in the CLLD Core areas of Newquay and St Columb Minor. Indoor living environment is an acute issue for Newquay and St Columb Minor. Anecdotal evidence and desktop research suggest this is particularly acute in Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMOs). Issues include inadequate heating, ventilation and insulation which can be the cause of poor living conditions, e.g. cold, damp, condensation, spread of mould etc, and have a direct impact on the health of tenants. Alongside this, there are issues with unsustainable, seasonal employment leading to economic insecurity and fragile living situations. Projects are sought that demonstrate ability to engage with landlords and their unemployed / inactive tenants private homeowners to develop skills linked to DIY home improvement and utilise the housing stock as a training ground and practical experience opportunity. Skills Development: Projects will deliver a level of 'training' relevant to the needs of participants and move them closer to the workforce. This may include addressing soft skills such as increasing confidence, raising aspiration and boosting self-esteem; accredited training; or anything in between. Following the intervention at least 50% of participants will be supported into further training, job seeking or employment such as a trade apprenticeship. Route to self-employment: Projects will also be encouraged that raise aspiration in eligible beneficiaries and recruit them to a course (min of 12 hours interaction) where they will learn how to become enterprise ready. This may be following the previous skills development and ultimately lead to self-employment relating to home repairs/DIY. Applicants should demonstrate where they are linking with landlords and other relevant organisations for engagement, support and/or legacy purposes. Demonstration of innovative thinking in the applicant's exit strategy will be a priority. Types of projects sought: * Projects where training is provided in a way that also aims to address participants' needs holistically and/or the most acute issues identified in the IMD. * Projects that alleviate issues associated with mental health and/or fuel poverty. * Projects that include a degree of co-design will also be encouraged. Due to Health & Safety consideration, the intention is to focus on basic DIY skills and not those requiring accredited certification in electrical, plumbing or gas related activity. Indicatively, the Local Action Group has allocated the following amount: Skills (01): PS80,000 ESF PS20,000 ERDF (enabling) Route to self-employment (P11): PS85,000 ERDF ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c7984616-8998-48bf-a662-378faded9a1f | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Apr 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 29 Jun 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CORNWALL DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LTD | | Locality | REDRUTH | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR15 3QG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Pool & Tehidy | | Westminster constituency | Camborne and Redruth | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80500000 - Training services ## Release History - 15 Apr 2019 at 14:17 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c7984616-8998-48bf-a662-378faded9a1f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c7984616-8998-48bf-a662-378faded9a1f 15th April 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4d6a29d2-6c14-4916-befb-451bfbea1569 AMLAG Call Specification - https://communityledcornwall.co.uk/calls-for-applicants/ Link to CLLD website ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
