The procurement stage is open, using the Open procedure (below threshold). The tender deadline for submissions is March 18, 2024, with a contract period starting on May 1, 2024, and ending on March 31, 2025. The council is seeking services related to addressing social and economic challenges faced in the district. This tender opportunity issued by Bolsover District Council aims to support businesses offering training and higher education services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate in this procurement process. The contract duration provides a timeframe for the selected businesses to deliver the required services, offering an opportunity for business growth and collaboration with the public sector to address societal challenges in the area. ## Notice Bolsover District faces social and economic challenges that include a prevalence of low paid work in low productivity sectors such as retail, warehousing and some parts of the health and social care sector; and high levels of area deprivation with nearly half of all areas (46%) in Bolsover being in the 20% most deprived nationally in relation to the Education, Skills and Training domain. Poor connectivity by public transport to locations where jobs are concentrated, especially where employment growth is driven by significant out of town retail and distribution centres is also a challenge. Although the pandemic has not generated the high levels of unemployment initially expected, there are groups disproportionately impacted including younger workers, the low paid and, some Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups, and those with disabilities or health conditions. Moreover, there is evidence that jobs in some sectors including retail, hospitality and leisure remain below pre-pandemic levels despite the national boom in vacancies, with displaced workers moving into unemployment or inactivity rather than growing sectors such as health and social care. This indicates a skill mismatch which may be further exacerbated by changes in working patterns as a shift towards more hybrid forms of working penalise some without the space, access to technology or digital skills to embrace new opportunities.
