## Summary

The Central Bedfordshire Council has completed the tender process for the project titled "Bedfordshire Employment and Skills Service CBC-0961-DPS-LS-BESS-11 - AWARD". This initiative falls under the category of adult and other education services, aimed at supporting unemployed residents and those in low-paid jobs in the East of England. The contract was awarded on 6 January 2022, and the contract period runs from 10 January 2022 to 31 October 2022. The procurement method used for this awarding process was classified as "Other", with the tender submission period concluding on 14 December 2021.

This tender presents opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in training and educational services. Businesses involved in personal development training, technical education, and e-learning services would be particularly well-suited to engage in these contracts, fostering their growth while contributing to the skill development of residents in need of employment assistance.

## Notice

CBC has procured courses that extend, complement and broaden its current 2021-22 programme and support residents in these unprecedented times. It is seeking to support the following priority groups of residents (later referred to as 'learners'): - Residents who are unemployed and looking for work. - Residents in low paid work and seeking career progression or change, or who are at risk of redundancy (earning below the ESFA's low wage threshold and who would normally be eligible for co-funding).
