This procurement process falls under the education and training services category (CPV code: 80000000) and is taking place in West Yorkshire, UK. The tender period is set to conclude on 6th December 2018, with the contract expected to commence on 3rd January 2019 and end on 31st July 2019. With a total value of £50,000, this tender is aimed at organisations committed to enhancing skills for individuals aged over 50, particularly in higher-risk sectors facing skill shortages. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on training and workforce development, particularly those with expertise in reskilling older workers in sectors like manufacturing, construction, and engineering. Organisations that prioritise collaborative working and have a proven track record of delivering impactful training programmes will be well-suited to compete. Additionally, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, as this procurement process aims to foster quality partnerships that contribute to local economic growth and the Leeds City Region skills agenda. ## Notice West Yorkshire Consortium of Colleges (WYCC) is seeking skilled training providers to train and support career progression and transitions for individuals aged over 50. This tender is part funded by the European Social Fund. West Yorkshire Consortium Colleges (WYCC) values collaborative working and invite applications from organisations that are committed to working in partnership to deliver quality training, which meets the Leeds City Region skills agenda. The main aims of this training are to: Pilot the delivery of comprehensive early skills and training interventions for workers in higher risk sectors and industries (older workers in certain sectors such as manufacturing are at higher risk of redundancy) There are prolific problems of skill shortages in other sectors such as construction and engineering which employers are struggling to overcome. Projects which support skills acquisition for workers aged 50 and above in these sectors are required to be delivered through this commission. Line managers with the right skills are crucial to successfully supporting older workers. The CIPD says around half of line managers in all firms are not trained in managing age diverse teams and are therefore not equipped to deal with some of the challenges that will inevitably arise in some cases. Projects would be welcome which focus on increasing the skills of those who manage older workers to better support and facilitate skills development opportunities and career redirection for their older workforce to enable people to remain in good quality work for longer. Up skilling, reskilling and career change pilot projects would be welcome. For example, through the delivery of highly challenging work activities (for example, project-based activities) to support career progression or redirection within the company or its supply chain Additional information: Please refer to the Commission Brief and accompanying Application Documents Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/66cfc88c-46d9-4e67-80ff-189ee2a074ad | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Oct 2018 | | Submission deadline | 6 Dec 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 3 Jan 2019 - 31 Jul 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WEST YORKSHIRE CONSORTIUM OF COLLEGES | | Locality | WEST YORKSHIRE | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS2 8BL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 17 Oct 2018 at 15:29 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/66cfc88c-46d9-4e67-80ff-189ee2a074ad ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/66cfc88c-46d9-4e67-80ff-189ee2a074ad 17th October 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/WYCC/aspx/ Additional information on how to apply for this contract ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
