The buying organisation, capitalEsourcing, based in London, is seeking delivery partners to provide adult learning services to local residents. The tender, classified under training services, is currently at the open procurement stage and is set to close on 18 August 2023 at 12:00 pm. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly smaller organisations or those with experience in adult learning services, to compete for contracts worth up to £220,000. As the tender is accessible to SMEs and VCSEs, businesses meeting the specified minimum standards detailed in the Invitation to Tender document are encouraged to apply. The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea aims to expand its adult learning services through external partners recruited via the Pseudo Framework annually, providing growth opportunities for businesses in the services sector. ## Notice The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has floated a tender for Adult Learning Service's Pseudo Framework for Delivery Partners for a five year period from 2023 to 2028. We are seeking delivery partners who work in the Borough with local residents, delivering to a wide range of needs, through a variety of adult learning curriculum areas. There are two Lots available - one aimed at smaller organisations with less experience of delivering adult learning to the expected standards, the other for larger contracts up to PS220,000. The tender is closing on 18 Aug 2023 12:00pm. Bidders will find further information about the Tender, how to complete an application and can request the complete Tender document by Registering on the e-tendering portal ( https://www.capitalesourcing.com ). All tenders must be completed through capitalEsourcing. Following the way Local Authorities are funded for Adult Learning Services from the Greater London Authority, The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea ("Local Authority") is in the position to expand its offer of funding to a wider range of providers to meet a broad range of skills and services. The proposed Framework Agreement will allow The Authority to recruit additional external delivery partners to expand the Adult Learning offer to our residents. The Pseudo Framework is cost neutral to the Local Authority, and will call-off the services of external delivery partners from the Pseudo Framework when there is a recognised need from residents. Contracts will be agreed with partners from the Pseudo Framework annually for the period of the framework. New applications to the pseudo-framework will be enabled annually from February to April each year. Exact dates will be confirmed via the link ( https://www.capitalesourcing.com ). We expect potential providers to meet a number of minimum standards; these are detailed in the ITT. We advise all interested providers to read the entire ITT and all the tender documents before submitting their Tenders. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b71af091-b4d9-47e9-af02-047834bef7e5 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Jul 2023 | | Submission deadline | 18 Aug 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 14 Sep 2023 - 14 Sep 2028 | | 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 | CAPITALESOURCING | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | West London | | Postcode | W8 7NX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI33 Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham | | Local authority | Kensington and Chelsea | | Electoral ward | Campden | | Westminster constituency | Kensington and Bayswater | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80500000 - Training services ## Release History - 17 Jul 2023 at 14:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b71af091-b4d9-47e9-af02-047834bef7e5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b71af091-b4d9-47e9-af02-047834bef7e5 17th July 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.capitalesourcing.com - https://www.capitalesourcing.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
