## Summary

The Department for Education has recently awarded a contract titled "Emerging Skills Project in Electrification," which aims to deliver training services focused on developing short courses to address emerging skills needs in electrification. This procurement process, classified under the Education and training services sector, involved an open procurement method and was completed on 22nd September 2021. The contract will run from 13th September 2021 until 31st March 2022, providing an opportunity for suppliers to contribute to skill development in the UK and beyond. The total contract value amounts to £1,390,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for educational and training service providers, especially those specialising in skills development in electrification and related fields. Businesses that are capable of collaborative delivery, including creating course materials and providing training support, will find this project particularly suitable for their expertise. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement process promotes collaborative working among organisations to enhance training capabilities in this vital sector.

## Notice

This procurement exercise is to put in place a contract to deliver the second two activities of the Skills Value Chain. The first activity, foresighting, will be delivered under a separate agreement. The services required are: 1. Development of short courses to meet emerging skills needs in electrification using the outputs from foresighting conducted in the Summer 2021. 2. Training and other necessary support of teaching staff in chosen providers to teach the courses developed at (1) through 'train the trainer' training days. 3. Delivery of courses developed at (1) to learner through the upskilling days for employees in the sector. As the Skills Value Chain requires collaboration between organisations, we would expect bids to demonstration collaborative working.
