This procurement falls under the education and training services category and is valued at £750,000. The open procedure will remain active for three years, with the tender period concluding on 28th June 2018 at midday. The contract is expected to commence on 24th August 2018 and conclude on 31st July 2021, and services are to be delivered primarily in the South East region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in education and training services, to engage in subcontracting arrangements with the council. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to compete, as the council aims to include various service providers to reach under-served markets effectively. It is an ideal opportunity for companies involved in adult learning, vocational training, and apprenticeship services to expand their outreach and enhance service delivery across the region. ## Notice This is a notice for social and specific services in accordance with Directive 2014/24/EU Article 74' Buckinghamshire Adult Learning (BAL) is a service area within Buckinghamshire County Council (the Council), which has contracts with the Education Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) and the Education Funding Agency (EFA) to deliver training opportunities funded by them. Much of these are directly delivered by BAL but, in order to fully use its Apprenticeship and Adult Education Budget (AEB) allocation and ensure it addresses the key priorities of both the Council and the ESFA, it sub-contracts part of its delivery. This enables it to deliver to target markets and in geographical areas that it would otherwise be unable to reach. Funding for each academic year is provided to Buckinghamshire County Council on a yearly basis from the Education Skills Funding Agency. The Council is therefore seeking applications for the Provision of Delivery of Learning Services. The approved list will be based upon the type of programme delivery. The approved list will be in place for the next 3 years. All applications must be returned via the Buckinghamshire Business Portal. The tender return date is midday on Thursday 28th June 2018. Applications received after this time and date will not be accepted. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b93692cf-bc49-49e7-8119-8048cddced5a | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large, SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Sep 2018 | | Submission deadline | 28 Jun 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 11 Sep 2018 | | Contract period | 29 Sep 2018 - 31 Jul 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £750,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £750,000 | | 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 | BUCKINGHAMSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | AYLESBURY | | Post town | Hemel Hempstead | | Postcode | HP20 1YG | | 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 | TLJ South East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 11 | | Supplier names | ADULT TRAINING NETWORK; ASPIRE ACHIEVE ADVANCE; BEST PRACTICE TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT; CARE TRAINING SOLUTIONS; CENTRAL YMCA; DYNAMIC TRAINING; MANATEC; PEOPLEPLUS GROUP; PROSPECTS TRAINING INTERNATIONAL; SKILLS TRAINING AND ASSESSMENT; TOTAL TRAINING SOLUTIONS AND CONSULTANCY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 13 Sep 2018 at 08:39 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b93692cf-bc49-49e7-8119-8048cddced5a - 7 Jun 2018 at 15:43 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/128b9015-5492-4c7c-ae09-17a9f2a8c58b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b93692cf-bc49-49e7-8119-8048cddced5a 13th September 2018 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/128b9015-5492-4c7c-ae09-17a9f2a8c58b 7th June 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=eb8304f0-686a-e811-80ed-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.buckscc.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
