The procurement process is currently at the Tender stage, with the tender period concluding on 15th January 2018. The total estimated value of this opportunity is £37,800,000, and it aims to serve various London Boroughs including Hackney, Islington, Barnet, Haringey, Barking and Dagenham, Hillingdon, and Hounslow. Participation requires suppliers to be registered as Main Route Providers on the Education and Skills Funding Agency Register of Approved Training Providers. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly those that are registered providers with the Education and Skills Funding Agency. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete for this contract, given the open and dynamic nature of the procurement process. Engaging with this DPS could allow sector-specific organisations to expand their service delivery to multiple councils while contributing to the workforce development efforts in London. ## Notice In response to the introduction of the Apprenticeship Levy, in effect from 6th April 2017, London Borough of Tower Hamlets on behalf of the participant London Councils (London Borough of Hackney, London Borough of Islington, London Borough of Barnet, London Borough of Haringey, London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, London Borough of Hillingdon and London Borough of Hounslow) has opened a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to allow the Council to access the Education and Skills Funding Agency approved training providers in a manner compliant with the requirements of the Public Contract Regulations.
