This open tender, valued at £1,398,000, is classified under education and training services. The tender period concluded on 23rd July 2021, while the contract runs from 13th September 2021 to 31st March 2022. The project involves the development of short courses, training of staff, and direct course delivery to learners, with expectations for collaborative efforts from bidders. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in training and educational services, particularly those with expertise in electrification and emerging technologies. Companies that specialise in content development, vocational training, or educational consultancy would be particularly well-suited to participate. The emphasis on collaboration suggests that partnerships between businesses may enhance potential bids, providing a pathway to expand capabilities and reach within this growing sector. ## Notice This procurement exercise is to put in place a contract to deliver the second two activities of the Skills Value Chain. The first activity, foresighting, will be delivered under a separate agreement. The services required are: 1. Development of short courses to meet emerging skills needs in electrification using the outputs from foresighting conducted in the Summer 2021. 2. Training and other necessary support of teaching staff in chosen providers to teach the courses developed at (1) through 'train the trainer' training days. 3. Delivery of courses developed at (1) to learner through the upskilling days for employees in the sector. As the Skills Value Chain requires collaboration between organisations, we would expect bids to demonstration collaborative working. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bb30c845-e82b-4761-9c7a-11fa4ba159a2 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Oct 2021 | | Submission deadline | 23 Jul 2021 | | Future notice date | 9 Jun 2021 | | Award date | 21 Sep 2021 | | Contract period | 12 Sep 2021 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,398,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £1,300,404 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3BT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 3 | | Supplier names | ACTIVATE TRADE TRAINING; CARBON SIX ENGINEERING; THE HIGH VALUE MANUFACTURING CATAPULT | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 6 Oct 2021 at 07:46 - TenderCancellation - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bb30c845-e82b-4761-9c7a-11fa4ba159a2 - 6 Oct 2021 at 07:37 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/11a5f668-20c2-44c8-ba46-966b4aeb7e71 - 30 Jun 2021 at 08:55 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d052d02f-c94b-476b-af96-4fb78327dc5b - 14 May 2021 at 06:55 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a6ec2da0-2ab2-444a-be8e-449d279df514 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bb30c845-e82b-4761-9c7a-11fa4ba159a2 6th October 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/11a5f668-20c2-44c8-ba46-966b4aeb7e71 6th October 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d052d02f-c94b-476b-af96-4fb78327dc5b 30th June 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a6ec2da0-2ab2-444a-be8e-449d279df514 14th May 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/31bdaf04-cdd9-4d1c-8970-b42c9652cd69 n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
