This project is classified under the industry categories of higher education, adult education, and training services. Currently in the planning stage, the engagement end date is set for 6th July 2020. The total available grant funding amounts to £280,000, supported by the European Social Fund, with a minimum project cost requirement of £50,000 for applicants. Businesses interested in this tender can find relevant documentation online. This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in training, education, and employment services, particularly those focusing on the hospitality, arts, retail, and tourism sectors. Enterprises that offer re-skilling and up-skilling services, as well as support for individuals returning to the workforce, would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, organisations that have experience working with vulnerable groups, such as individuals over 50 or those with disabilities, will find that their expertise aligns well with the objectives of this initiative. ## Notice CLLD is launching a new call to facilitate the transition of those workers who were affected by COVID-19 and have lost their job or those are looking to return to work after a period of unemployment. We recognise there are particular challenges faced by people who worked in the hospitality, arts, retail and tourism sectors and also would like to see a particular focus on those who are over 50 or have disabilities. The call is to offer training, confidence building, and skills development that will enable these now out-of-work individuals to either: 1. Re-skill or up-skill in order to promptly pivot to new sectors (for example: care, customer services or self-employment) 2. Pro-actively prepare for the new post-COVID-19 job opportunities (local tourism, training on sanitary measures, hygiene, Health and Safety) through training, confidence building, and skills development. Total grant funding amount available: PS280,000 (European Social Fund - ESF) Expected intervention rate: 80% Match: to be found from non-EU sources. Minimum total project costs: Projects costs will have to be over PS50,000 (i.e. Minimum PS40,000 CLLD ESF grant per project). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/16d2ecef-b72f-4de7-b6d6-d93b6eb71268 | | 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 | 22 Jun 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 6 Jul 2020 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | CORNWALL DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LTD | | Locality | REDRUTH | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR15 3QG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Pool & Tehidy | | Westminster constituency | Camborne and Redruth | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80300000 - Higher education services - 80400000 - Adult and other education services - 80500000 - Training services ## Release History - 22 Jun 2020 at 12:48 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/16d2ecef-b72f-4de7-b6d6-d93b6eb71268 - 5 Jun 2020 at 15:27 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/16d2ecef-b72f-4de7-b6d6-d93b6eb71268 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/16d2ecef-b72f-4de7-b6d6-d93b6eb71268 22nd June 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7c101171-28dc-4530-9ded-8e1a0822601b CTC03 Call Specification - https://communityledcornwall.co.uk/calls-for-applicants/ CLLD website link - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a40e8395-6273-486b-baf1-fca696779655 ## Notice URLs - https://communityledcornwall.co.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
