The deadline for tender submissions is 13th February 2023, and the project is scheduled to be completed by 30th November 2023. This tender opportunity provides a chance for consultancy firms specialising in education and training services to engage in strategic partnership development and framework creation processes.

Successful bidders will have the opportunity to contribute to shaping the future of employment and skills provision in Calderdale, collaborating with key stakeholders to drive meaningful impact in the region's inclusive economy agenda. ## Notice Calderdale Council, on behalf of the Inclusive Economy Board, are seeking to procure a consultant who can facilitate the development of an Employment and Skills Framework for Calderdale, and associated support in developing a strong and sustained strategic partnership around the same agenda. The new framework will establish clear and shared priorities for action over the next five years, in the context of: 1. Local needs and a changing labour market 2. Existing and planned provision 3. Available and future resources 4. A strategic context, including that shaped by West Yorkshire Combined Authority and the overall goals of Calderdale's Vision 2024 and Inclusive Economy Strategy, as well as the new Post 16 employment, learning and skills strategy. The approach to developing the Framework will be based on facilitating a set of strategic partners to work together, both to identify and agree the priorities for the Framework, and also establish stronger working relationships and collaboration. The approach will require the building of intelligence from existing data and knowledge of community and business aspirations and needs. This should also support a sustained approach to intelligence development that facilitates future prioritisation and helps track key trends. The scope of work is required to be delivered by 30th November 2023. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/107d8cbc-7c14-4d83-b019-6a7719dc6723 | | 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 | 20 Jan 2023 | | Submission deadline | 13 Feb 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 27 Feb 2023 - 30 Nov 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £36,000 | | 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 | THE BOROUGH COUNCIL OF CALDERDALE | | Locality | HALIFAX | | Post town | Halifax | | Postcode | HX1 1UJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE44 Calderdale and Kirklees | | Local authority | Calderdale | | Electoral ward | Town | | Westminster constituency | Halifax | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 20 Jan 2023 at 13:47 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/107d8cbc-7c14-4d83-b019-6a7719dc6723 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/107d8cbc-7c14-4d83-b019-6a7719dc6723 20th January 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=59242&B=UK Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/103251 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.calderdale.gov.uk/v2 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
