The maximum budget for this opportunity is £60,000, with a contract period from September 12, 2022, to February 11, 2023. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period ended on August 24, 2022. SMARTT North East Ltd was awarded the contract on August 25, 2022, with a contract start date of October 24, 2022. This tender by Durham County Council presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly those involved in education and training services, to contribute to a project funded under the European Social Fund. Small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations, are suited to compete. The tender requires providers to deliver a Construction employment routeway with a focus on progressing young people into employment, education, or training. Businesses interested in delivering these services in the North Durham area should consider bidding for this contract. ## Notice We are looking for a single provider and are welcoming bids to deliver a Construction employment routeway including the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) (as a minimum) with a focus on realistic opportunities for progression to Employment , Apprenticeships, Traineeships or Further Education. DurhamWorks participation data trends suggests that there may be demand for twenty (20) 16-24 year old unemployed young people within the North Durham (Stanley, Consett and Chester - le-Street) area of County Durham who are interested in this specific employment routeway. This does not guarantee referrals from the DurhamWorks Progression Teams in these volumes and we expect successful bidders to generate a proportion of new registrations to the DurhamWorks programme. We are therefore looking for a provider that can deliver within this geographical area. Contracts will be paid on the delivery and evidencing of pre-defined outputs and relate to starts, completions and progressions from your programme into Employment, Education or Training (EET). The proposed contract is to be let with an option to extend for a further 2 periods of up to 5 months from the actual end date or completion of achieving satisfactory targets on the programme (whichever is sooner) (i.e. extensions can run concurrently), subject to funding, performance, achieving KPI's, need and Commissioner approval. Within the extension periods there is capacity to undertake changes to some elements of the activity delivery (i.e. venue, geographical delivery, model of delivery but not content). The maximum budget for this opportunity is PS20,000 per 5 month contract period (PS60,000 in total should all extension periods be invoked). This project is funded under European Social Fund (ESF) Additional information: Tender Documents are available Free of Charge at www.nepo.org utilising reference DN624155 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b9dbedc0-3ff8-4313-858a-b2a73a4495ab | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Sep 2022 | | Submission deadline | 24 Aug 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 24 Aug 2022 | | Contract period | 23 Oct 2022 - 4 Feb 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £60,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £48,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DURHAM COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | DURHAM | | Post town | Durham | | Postcode | DH1 5UG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC41 Durham | | Local authority | County Durham | | Electoral ward | Neville's Cross | | Westminster constituency | City of Durham | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | SMARTT NORTH EAST | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 7 Sep 2022 at 13:54 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b9dbedc0-3ff8-4313-858a-b2a73a4495ab - 4 Aug 2022 at 09:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3292627b-2323-4950-bb68-2db87afc288a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b9dbedc0-3ff8-4313-858a-b2a73a4495ab 7th September 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3292627b-2323-4950-bb68-2db87afc288a 4th August 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.durham.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
