This procurement process aims to provide adult skills training for individuals aged 19 and above within the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough area, which encompasses a diverse population of approximately 850,000 across six local authority districts. The tender period will close on 14th February 2019, and the resulting contract is expected to commence on 24th March 2019, running until 31st July 2023. The primary classification for this tender falls under adult and other education services. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), which are encouraged to participate in providing tailored adult education services. Successful bidders will help shape a flexible and agile educational framework in the region, catering to the local labour markets and addressing the skills needs of the communities. Businesses with expertise in adult education, training programmes, or further learning initiatives would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority's (CPCA) intentions for the procured element of the devolved Adult Education Budget (AEB) only. The overall commissioning approach for AEB will involve a combination of plan-led grant funding and procured provision. This tender is concerned solely with the procured activity. The principal purpose of the AEB is to engage adults aged 19+ and provide them with the required skills enabling them to enter and sustain employment, an apprenticeship/traineeship, or other further learning. In the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough region, devolution will enable adult skills provision and learning to be more flexible and agile in its application. The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough area has a population of over circa 850,000 and it consists of six Local Authority districts - the cities of Cambridge and Peterborough, the rural districts of East Cambridgeshire, Fenland, Huntingdonshire, and South Cambridgeshire. Cambridgeshire and Peterborough's economic geography is defined by three labour market areas: * Peterborough and surroundings (including north Huntingdonshire) * The Fens (including Fenland, some of East Cambridgeshire and part of Huntingdonshire) * Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire (including southern parts of Huntingdonshire and East Cambridgeshire as a third) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a9d534e7-eb40-48f7-9b1b-792474aee711 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Jan 2019 | | Submission deadline | 14 Feb 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 24 Mar 2019 - 31 Jul 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £4,000,000 | | 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 | CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND PETERBOROUGH COMBINED AUTHORITY | | Locality | CAMBRIDGE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB2 3QJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Cambridge | | Electoral ward | Market | | Westminster constituency | Cambridge | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80400000 - Adult and other education services ## Release History - 8 Jan 2019 at 15:26 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a9d534e7-eb40-48f7-9b1b-792474aee711 - 7 Jan 2019 at 17:15 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d28c5491-b9cd-479b-88bb-ea045dd53258 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a9d534e7-eb40-48f7-9b1b-792474aee711 8th January 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d28c5491-b9cd-479b-88bb-ea045dd53258 7th January 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
