The scheme aims to provide training and skills development for landlords and agents in Greater Manchester. The tender is currently in the planning stage, with a tender deadline of November 17, 2023, and a contract period starting on December 11, 2023, and ending on March 31, 2024. The procurement method is an open procedure for services in the general management consultancy category. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in management consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in skills development and apprenticeships. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate. Businesses located in England, and more specifically in Greater Manchester, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The focus on addressing the skills shortage in enforcement teams and providing training opportunities aligns with businesses looking to contribute to workforce development initiatives in the region. ## Notice Full details on how to respond to this opportunity can be found at https://www.the-chest.org.uk GMCA are seeking an evaluator to assess the training and skills element of the Good Landlord Scheme, to understand whether the approach taken successfully tackles the skills shortage. The evaluation should look at the process of the set up and delivery of the training programme and the impact of it. The Greater Manchester Good Landlord Scheme is a PS1.5million investment over 3 years. The aim of the scheme is to: * Work to make sure that tenants and landlords have access to up-to-date information and advice * Strengthen and focus enforcement capacity to help redress enforcement resource constraints * Target capacity building for landlords and agents * Of the PS1.5million investment in the Good Landlord Scheme, PS575,000 will be invested in training and skills. * PS400k - for new Regulatory Compliance Officers apprentices across GM, with additional training to bring them up to a CIEH recognised standard * PS75k - to deliver on the job training to bring existing council staff up to CIEH recognised standard. * Feedback from enforcement teams across GM suggests that a skills shortage is one of the main issues affecting them at present. Some teams have struggled to recruit, while others are worried about an aging workforce and how their team will cope in the future. The skills shortage was identified as a key priority of the scheme early in the development process and it was agreed to accelerate proposals where possible. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b28e6463-14a1-4a25-b222-24ee05026f75 | | 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 | 26 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | 17 Nov 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 11 Dec 2023 - 31 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000 | | 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 | GREATER MANCHESTER COMBINED AUTHORITY | | Locality | SALFORD | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M27 8US | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD34 Greater Manchester South West | | Local authority | Salford | | Electoral ward | Swinton Park | | Westminster constituency | Salford | | 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) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79411000 - General management consultancy services ## Release History - 26 Oct 2023 at 17:27 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b28e6463-14a1-4a25-b222-24ee05026f75 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b28e6463-14a1-4a25-b222-24ee05026f75 26th October 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.the-chest.org.uk - https://www.the-chest.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
