This procurement is categorised under "Health and social work services" and is intended to benefit the Yorkshire and the Humber region. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 13:00 hours on 2 January 2019. If successful, the programme is anticipated to commence in January 2020 and run for a period of three years, with a total value of £3,500,000, benefiting from European Social Fund (ESF) co-funding. Entrants are to apply through the YORtender portal using the Selection Questionnaire. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in employment services, education, training, and social support, particularly those that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Businesses that are adept in delivering integrated employment and skills initiatives, as well as those providing specialist support services aligned with the programme's objectives, would be well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this project not only contributes to the local economy but also helps organisations expand their portfolio and enhance their service offerings over the three-year contract duration. ## Notice On 20 November 2018 DWP released Enhanced Local Flexibility for the Unemployed Programme (OC20S18P1232). As a result the Council of the Borough of Kirklees (the "Council") is seeking expressions of interest from economic operators to work with us, at risk, to co-design, develop and deliver the Kirklees Council response to the European Social Fund, Enhanced Local Flexibility for the Unemployed Call which if successful would be part funded through European Social Fund ("ESF"). If successful this funding would enable the Council to further develop an integrated employment and skills offer, and would inform a future devolved employment and skills service. This could bring together information, advice and guidance alongside the delivery of employment, skills, apprenticeships and wider support for individuals and employers. Provision will run for 3 years and is envisaged to start in January 2020, although this is subject to change. We are looking to work with partners on the following basis: 1. Delivery Partners. 2. Specialist Providers. Further details on these roles are provided in the Specification document. On 13 December 2018 a Prior Indicative Notice ("PIN"), used as a call for competition, was published in the Official Journal of the European Union by the Council, inviting expressions of interest from economic operators with the relevant experience and ability to deliver the requirements of the Kirklees Enhanced Local Flexibility for the Unemployed programme, for both Lots. Interested economic operators must express their interest in this opportunity by downloading the documentation on YORtender (at https://www.yortender.co.uk) and submitting their EOI via the YORtender portal, using the Selection Questionnaire ("SQ") document, by the deadline of 13:00hrs on 2 January 2019. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fc8d1a19-4f2a-4784-9b7d-d300f39dd750 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Dec 2018 | | Submission deadline | 2 Jan 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Jan 2020 - 31 Dec 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,500,000 | | 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 | KIRKLEES COUNCIL | | Locality | HUDDERSFIELD | | Post town | Huddersfield | | Postcode | HD1 2TG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE44 Calderdale and Kirklees | | Local authority | Kirklees | | Electoral ward | Newsome | | Westminster constituency | Huddersfield | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 80300000 - Higher education services - 80400000 - Adult and other education services - 80500000 - Training services - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 13 Dec 2018 at 16:55 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fc8d1a19-4f2a-4784-9b7d-d300f39dd750 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fc8d1a19-4f2a-4784-9b7d-d300f39dd750 13th December 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.kirklees.gov.uk - https://www.yortender.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
