This initiative aims to gather market feedback related to the delivery of employability programmes designed to assist disadvantaged groups in the United Kingdom. The engagement period will close on 12 July 2021, at 10:00. The anticipated contract value is £1,000,000, and the procurement will include services classified under business services, education and training services, social work, and equal opportunities consultancy. This tender is relevant to suppliers located in England. This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in training, education, and social services, to contribute to TfL’s employability programmes. Organisations with experience in providing work-readiness skills, consulting services, or social support are well-suited to compete. Additionally, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage, given the nature of the programme focused on supporting individuals facing significant barriers to employment post-pandemic. ## Notice This Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ) is issued by Transport for London (TfL). We are seeking to obtain market feedback in relation to the delivery of TfL employability programmes. The primary focus of the MSQ is to better understand market/supplier appetite, capacity and capability, as well as perceived risks and opportunities. The MSQ also incorporates request for feedback on two new 12-week programmes TfL are seeking to introduce for those with limited or no work experience, and those returning to work after an extended period of absence Transport for London's employability programmes provide work readiness skills and opens doors to employment to some of the most disadvantaged groups in society. Individuals who fall into these groups have been disproportionately impacted by the current pandemic and now face even greater barriers to employment. The employability programmes are currently undergoing a redesign to better support those that most need it, through partnerships with charities, delivery partners and business stakeholders. The employability programmes are delivered either directly within TfL or are in partnership through our supply chain, who in turn will offer the work-place learning and pipeline job opportunities post programme, where relevant. Programmes fall into one of the below categories: - Ways into Work for those with no or limited work experience - Routes back to Work for those with significant work experience but have been out of the workplace for a period of time - Education to Work for those either still in education or due to leave education imminently To access the MSQ and submit a response please visit: https://procontract.due-north.com For your feedback to be taken into account, your completed MSQ must be received by Monday 12 July 2021, 10:00 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/554ef0fd-d254-4126-8bfa-bb94de62e9c1 | | 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 | 25 Jun 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 12 Jul 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,000,000 | | 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 | TRANSPORT FOR LONDON | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE10 0ES | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI5 Outer London - East and North East | | ITL 3 | TLI51 Bexley and Greenwich | | Local authority | Greenwich | | Electoral ward | Greenwich Peninsula | | Westminster constituency | Greenwich and Woolwich | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 80 - Education and training services - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 80000000 - Education and training services - 85300000 - Social work and related services - 98200000 - Equal opportunities consultancy services - 98300000 - Miscellaneous services ## Release History - 25 Jun 2021 at 16:35 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/554ef0fd-d254-4126-8bfa-bb94de62e9c1 - 25 Jun 2021 at 16:29 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a1ec53aa-1b65-4c63-8341-17bf073bdfd4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/554ef0fd-d254-4126-8bfa-bb94de62e9c1 25th June 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a1ec53aa-1b65-4c63-8341-17bf073bdfd4 25th June 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://procontract.due-north.com - https://tfl.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
