This open procurement process aims to support adult education in the region, specifically targeting skills development in Employability and ICT Digital Skills, prompted by the heightened need due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The tender period closes on 19th October 2020, with the successful provider expected to commence service delivery shortly thereafter, aiming for a completion date of 31st July 2021. Bidders will need to ensure they can operate in Brighton and Hove, as all delivery must be local. This procurement falls under the 'services' category with an emphasis on adult education services. This tender presents significant opportunities for educational providers, particularly those that specialise in adult learning and skills development. Businesses that are experienced in delivering accredited education programmes, possess knowledge of local demographics, and can offer flexible delivery methods—such as classroom, online, and blended learning—will be well-positioned to compete. Enterprises that can design and implement accredited learning programmes and have a proven track record with the ESFA will find this opportunity beneficial, allowing them to make a positive impact on local labour market needs and enhance their business growth in the education sector. ## Notice Brighton & Hove City Council has a direct contract with the ESFA for adult education.

The Council is seeking a provider to deliver a range of accredited adult education courses in the priority curriculum areas of Employability and ICT Digital Skills as the Covid- 19 pandemic has escalated the need for these skills. The Council is seeking tenders from bidders who: o have experience of delivering accredited ESFA funded adult education provision; o understand the demographic area of Brighton and Hove and needs of the priority groups; o have access to physical premises within Brighton and Hove to enable classroom delivery; o have a track record in delivering through classroom/online/blended learning; o will deliver approved regulated funded qualifications listed by the ESFA under the Adult Education Budget (AEB); o will design and cost appropriate accredited learning programs up to Level 2. The successful provider will be required to commence delivery from 9th November 2020 (or as close as possible to this date) and will complete delivery by 31 July 2021. The provider will be expected to market the provision in order to attract, retain and progress learners as well as adapt delivery to cope with further disruption resulting from COVID 19. The successful provider will offer appropriate support and meaningful contact time at a pace that meets the learner needs. Their delivery of the service will be required to make a positive impact on learner progression and provide essential skills for the local labour market Additional information: This tender is to be completed electronically using the SE Shared Services Procurement eSourcing portal. https://www.sesharedservices.org.uk/esourcing/opportunities The SE Shared Services eSourcing portal provides a web-based tool that provides a simple, secure and efficient means for managing tendering and quotation activities reducing the time and effort required for both buyers and Potential Bidders.
