## Summary

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority is carrying out the procurement process for the "Adult Skills Training Framework," which is currently in the Award stage. This open procedure aims to appoint up to nine Lead Delivery Partners for various lots related to adult and other education services, with a maximum contract value of £30 million over a four-year period. The contract is set to commence on 1st October 2021 and will conclude on 1st October 2025, with tenders having been accepted until 20th April 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in adult education and training services, particularly those equipped to provide vocational and technical training. Firms capable of delivering high-quality training across various skills, including computer and specialist training services, would be well-placed to compete. The framework allows for multiple suppliers, increasing the chances for both small and medium enterprises to engage in this lucrative market, despite the absence of guaranteed revenue for selected partners.

## Notice

This invitation to tender (ITT) is issued by West Yorkshire Combined Authority (Combined Authority). The Combined Authority is running this procurement process on its own behalf. This procurement process is for an Adult Skills Training Framework which is a multiple lot, multiple supplier framework, with a maximum of one supplier appointed to each lot. This competition will appoint one Lead Delivery Partner for each lot with tenderers having the ability to apply for one or multiple lots in this process. There are nine available lots and therefore the Combined Authority will appoint up to nine Lead Delivery Partners. Once appointed they will be the Lead Delivery Partner for that chosen lot however as this is a framework there is no guarantee of revenue to the chosen supplier. Indicative estimations of likely throughput have been included with further detail in appendix 1. The framework will be ran for 4 years with a maximum value of PS30 million.
