This project falls under the education and training services category, with an awarded contract value of £40,000. The tender was published on 18th August 2021, and the submission deadline is set for 8th September 2021. The services will be delivered across England, United Kingdom, with a contract period commencing on 1st January 2022 and concluding on 31st December 2022. This procurement follows an open procedure method, promoting transparency and accessibility in the bidding process. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in educational and training services, particularly those focused on health, social work, and community services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-positioned to compete, as the council seeks providers who can deliver effective and timely training for young individuals using public transport. The focus on developing independence and addressing diverse needs offers a lucrative avenue for businesses that understand the complexities of training in a community context. ## Notice The Council wish to procure a service that understands the importance of training individuals to use public transport to travel to and from school / college. This will allow young people to develop their independence, self-esteem and general wellbeing as the skills can also be utilised during leisure time to access the local community. We require a service that is able to deliver the training in an effective and timely manner, managing the split-shift work patterns that would naturally be a part of the training young people to use public transport to get to and from school / college each day, as well as demonstrating an understanding of the varying levels of needs and / or disabilities that could be a potential barrier to accessing public transport. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0f3bb1d5-ece3-400b-b843-13d2b1fc7487 | | 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 | 18 Aug 2021 | | Submission deadline | 8 Sep 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2022 - 31 Dec 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £40,000 | | 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 | CHESHIRE WEST AND CHESTER BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | ELLESMERE PORT | | Post town | Chester | | Postcode | CH65 0BE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD63 Cheshire West and Chester | | Local authority | Cheshire West and Chester | | Electoral ward | Central & Grange | | Westminster constituency | Ellesmere Port and Bromborough | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 18 Aug 2021 at 08:51 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0f3bb1d5-ece3-400b-b843-13d2b1fc7487 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0f3bb1d5-ece3-400b-b843-13d2b1fc7487 18th August 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=c91a69e8-81ff-eb11-810d-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
