## Summary

The Central Bedfordshire Council is seeking a contractor for the Bedfordshire Employment & Skills Service Destination Tracking service, aimed at assisting local adults in enhancing their employability through various educational programmes. This procurement process is currently in the Award stage, with the contract valued at £11,200. The contract is set to commence on 1st November 2018 and conclude on 31st October 2020. The tender was published on 3rd September 2018, and the tender period closed on 24th August 2018. The initiative falls under the Education and Training Services category.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in educational services, particularly those specialising in tracking and analysis for adult education programmes. Businesses that can offer innovative solutions to help measure learner outcomes and progress would be especially well-suited to compete for this contract. The diversity of providers, including large private firms and not-for-profit organisations, makes this procurement an appealing avenue for growth in the education sector.

## Notice

The Bedfordshire Employment & Skills Service (BESS) team commissions a number of courses funded by the Education & Skills Funding Agency's Adult Education Budget (AEB). The courses are designed to support learners, who are local adult residents, as they take steps towards improving their employability or seeking a different job. Often learners will be from deprived areas, be unemployed and with prior attainment below full level 2. The courses are provided by a combination of the in-house Direct Delivery team and a range of external organisations which represent the Private, Public and Not-for-Profit sectors. To supplement this provision, BESS wishes to engage one contractor to provide a Destination Tracking service.
