This procurement, relevant to the adult education sector, is set to address training needs until March 2023, with the possibility to extend until March 2028. The tender period concluded on 2nd March 2023, with contract activities expected to start from 3rd March 2023. The total value of the contract is £20 million, aimed at various delivery addresses including locations in Lincoln, with a minimum contract value of £10 million. This opportunity is particularly suited for businesses registered as Apprenticeship Training Providers with the Education and Skills Funding Agency. Companies specialising in vocational training and education services can greatly benefit from this tender, as it enables them to expand their offerings to local councils and maintained schools. Suppliers that can meet or exceed the quality criteria of 70% will be included in the catalogue, increasing their visibility and business prospects within the region. ## Notice Lincolnshire County Council is setting up a Modified Dynamic Purchasing System (MDPS) to support the procurement of Apprenticeship Training for the Council and its Maintained Schools. Suppliers must be registered on the Education and Skills Funding Agency's (ESFA) Register of Apprenticeship Training Providers - details of which can be found here https://www.gov.uk/guidance/register-of-apprenticeship-training-providers. In order to provide Lincolnshire County Council and its maintained schools with apprenticeship training, suppliers will need to join the MDPS. Through this we will issue requests for Delivery Plans for inclusion within our Catalogue of Apprenticeship Provision. Delivery Plans will be evaluated against quality criteria, and as long as they meet or exceed the quality threshold of 70%, the suppliers offer will be added to the Catalogue. This Catalogue will be circulated to the Councils corporate departments and its maintained schools, where recruiting officers can perform desk based evaluations to identify the offer that most closely meets their needs. This procurement activity will cover all apprenticeship training needs up until March 2023, with the option to extend until March 2028. As and when new needs are identified, new Delivery Plan requests will be issued via the MDPS.
