The procurement process is underway, with the tender period ending on 23 April 2019. This initiative falls under the category of education and training services (CPV code 80000000) and represents a significant opportunity to tackle unemployment, particularly for adults aged 19 and over facing various barriers to securing sustainable employment. The contract period is set from 1 September 2019 to 1 September 2020, with all relevant details published on 29 March 2019. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in education and skills training. Businesses that can provide innovative solutions to help adults overcome employment barriers, enhance their skills, and progress in their careers would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The emphasis on collaboration with external organisations to achieve these goals further opens avenues for partnerships and specialised service offerings across the region. ## Notice Cheshire West and Chester Council are funded by the Education & Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) to secure adult education opportunities in the borough of West Cheshire and Chester. The main focus of the Skills and Employment team is tackling unemployment and particularly long term unemployment across the borough. During 2019-20 , a large proportion of our funding will be targeted for delivery through external organisations to support outcomes for adults aged 19+ who face a range of challenges/barriers to securing sustainable employment. Throughout 2019-20 we will be commissioning provision that will provide adults with the skills, support and confidence to enable them to secure employment or progress to further learning. We also want to support people in low paid work to improve their skills and progress at work. To meet these aims, we are particularly interested in funding bids from partners specifically tackling the barriers people face when trying to secure employment and/or progress at work within a progression focused curriculum framework. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4bbaace-2331-4c33-aa25-5fa6f672b216 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Mar 2019 | | Submission deadline | 23 Apr 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2019 - 1 Sep 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CHESHIRE WEST AND CHESTER BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | CHESTER | | Post town | Chester | | Postcode | CH1 2NP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD63 Cheshire West and Chester | | Local authority | Cheshire West and Chester | | Electoral ward | Chester City & the Garden Quarter | | Westminster constituency | Chester North and Neston | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 29 Mar 2019 at 11:13 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4bbaace-2331-4c33-aa25-5fa6f672b216 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4bbaace-2331-4c33-aa25-5fa6f672b216 29th March 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=b4915d76-5751-e911-80f3-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
