This procurement, classified under the CPV code for driving-school services, falls within the services category and will take place in Sheffield, England. The tender period will close on 12th October 2021, with the contract set to commence on 1st November 2021 and conclude on 31st October 2023. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing broad participation. This tender presents a significant opportunity for driving schools and instructors looking to expand their business with public sector clients. Smaller enterprises, especially SMEs and voluntary community sector enterprises, may find the framework particularly advantageous, as it aims to accommodate varied instructional needs tailored to apprentices. Suppliers able to demonstrate flexibility in teaching methods and a strong commitment to safety and learner progression would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. ## Notice Sheffield City Council (SCC) is seeking quotations to appoint several Driving Schools under a framework agreement. This agreement will allow SCC to offer driving lessons to existing and future Estate Officer Apprentices for the contract period of 2 years, with the scope to extend for a further 12 months if required. The appointed Driving Instructors will be responsible for tutoring the process to the Apprentices who require their driving licence to fulfil their employment with Sheffield City Council. They must educate the learner on how to drive safely, by developing their skills needed to pass the driving theory and practical examinations. You would be expected to adapt your teaching plan according to individual's skills and knowledge. As a Driving Instructor, we would like you to perform the following tasks: * Teaching theory about driving. * Supervising practical examinations. * Advising about skills to be developed. * Monitoring progresses. * Explaining driving techniques. We envisage for the learner to pass their driving test after no more than 3 attempts. After the 3rd attempt, it will be the learner's responsibility to continue with the lessons on their own accord if they wish to do so. Regular updates are to be provided by the driving instructor on the progress of the learner, any issues that arise with attendance, commitment, performance should all be raised with the contact point for the learner from the first instance. The learner will be expected to book and pay for the booking of their driving test, Sheffield City Council will reimburse these costs to the learner on an individual basis via the iManage system, this is the same arrangement for driving theory test. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/42d02442-2462-4c66-8844-83e44c747dad | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | 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 | 13 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | 12 Oct 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2021 - 31 Oct 2023 | | 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 | SHEFFIELD CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 4PL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | 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 - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80411000 - Driving-school services ## Release History - 13 Sep 2021 at 15:09 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/42d02442-2462-4c66-8844-83e44c747dad ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/42d02442-2462-4c66-8844-83e44c747dad 13th September 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=809cb6d0-a014-ec11-810e-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
