## Summary

The London Borough of Hounslow has undertaken a tender process for the "Green Skills Escalator Training Provider" initiative, addressing adult and other education services within the UK. This procurement, valued at £100,000, is currently in the award stage following an open procurement method. The contract period is set to commence on 1st June 2022 and concludes on 31st May 2024. Key activities aim to provide training opportunities to underemployed residents of Hounslow, particularly focusing on those adversely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, with the tender period having closed on 15th March 2022.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in training services, particularly those with a focus on environmentally-friendly skills and job placement. Providers with expertise in adult education and qualifications, such as the Domestic Energy Assessor course, are well-suited to compete. The initiative not only supports local employment but also aligns with the growing demand for green skills in the job market, making it an attractive prospect for businesses looking to expand their training offerings in a rapidly evolving economy.

## Notice

The London Borough of Hounslow is seeking a contractor to deliver a skills academy which will offer training to unemployed or underemployed Hounslow residents in fields that are environmentally friendly and are predicted to grow, enabling Hounslow's residents and businesses to thrive in a changing job market and economy. Central to this vision is a commitment to equality of opportunity to serve Hounslow's diverse residents and communities in the best way possible. The Pilot for the Green Skills Academy will rely on the Skills Escalator programme. Previously, this model has been used to tailor programmes to individual residents, but through the pilot will now aim to give 100 Hounslow Residents access to a Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) Course and Qualification. The course has been chosen due to a significant demand for DEA qualified professionals, good career progressions into retrofitting or other energy-related services, and flexibility to choose self-employment upon course completion. Furthermore, it requires no pre-existing knowledge in the field, nor a high level of digital or English skills, ensuring that the course is accessible to a large proportion of Hounslow's population. The residents targeted by the programme have been financially impacted by Covid-19, either through prolonged periods on the furlough programme, or through unemployment. The participants must be over 19 and present payslips or other evidence that they have been negatively impacted and they must be Hounslow residents.
