The process, currently in the planning stage, involves market engagement activities designed to gather insights into local service providers' capacity and capabilities. A consultation event is scheduled for 18th July from 2pm to 4pm at Windsor House, Tavistock Road, Plymouth, PL6 5UF, with an engagement end date of 20th September 2018. This procurement is classified under the CPV code for education and training services. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly those capable of delivering subcontracted services within the Plymouth area. Companies attending the consultation event can contribute to shaping future service designs and potentially secure a share of the annual £1.477 million contract. This outreach aims to create a collaborative environment, enabling local providers to identify common challenges and offer solutions, making it an ideal prospect for both established and emerging educational service providers. ## Notice Plymouth City Council has a contract with the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) to provide education, training and skills provision to the population of Plymouth. It is our intention to run a procurement exercise later in the year to select sub contractors to deliver this provision for the next few years. Market Assessment To help us with our procurement planning we are looking to improve our knowledge of the supply market in Plymouth area by widening our understanding of the current capacity, capabilities and the future potential of service providers operating or willing to operate in the Plymouth area. Provider Consultation Event In addition to completion of the questionnaire, you are invited to a learning provider consultation event on 18th July from 2pm to 4pm at Windsor House, Tavistock Road, Plymouth, PL6 5UF.
