This project falls under the services procurement category within the adult education services industry. The tender period concludes on 15 March 2022, and the contract is set to begin on 3 May 2022, running until 2 May 2024. The total value of the contract is estimated at £100,000, following an open procurement method. This opportunity is poised to enhance business growth for training providers, particularly those that specialise in adult education and skills development in green technologies. Companies with expertise in developing training programmes for qualifications, such as the Domestic Energy Assessor course, would find themselves competitively suited for this tender. Additionally, businesses that can demonstrate a commitment to inclusivity and have the capability to engage with diverse communities in Hounslow will be well-positioned to meet the requirements set forth in this initiative. ## Notice The London Borough of Hounslow is seeking a contractor to deliver a skills academy which will offer training to unemployed or underemployed Hounslow residents in fields that are environmentally friendly and are predicted to grow, enabling Hounslow's residents and businesses to thrive in a changing job market and economy. Central to this vision is a commitment to equality of opportunity to serve Hounslow's diverse residents and communities in the best way possible. The Pilot for the Green Skills Academy will rely on the Skills Escalator programme. Previously, this model has been used to tailor programmes to individual residents, but through the pilot will now aim to give 100 Hounslow Residents access to a Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) Course and Qualification. The course has been chosen due to a significant demand for DEA qualified professionals, good career progressions into retrofitting or other energy-related services, and flexibility to choose self-employment upon course completion. Furthermore, it requires no pre-existing knowledge in the field, nor a high level of digital or English skills, ensuring that the course is accessible to a large proportion of Hounslow's population. The residents targeted by the programme have been financially impacted by Covid-19, either through prolonged periods on the furlough programme, or through unemployment. The participants must be over 19 and present payslips or other evidence that they have been negatively impacted and they must be Hounslow residents.
