This initiative aims to develop curriculum content for the health and social care sector through a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) tailored for non-traditional learners. The tender is classified under the "services" category and falls within the open procurement method, specifically an open procedure below threshold. Interested parties should note that the tender period concludes on 6 August 2018, and the value of the contract is capped at £150,000, inclusive of VAT. The contract is expected to commence on 28 August 2018 and will continue until 29 March 2019, with the publication of the opportunity dated 20 July 2018. This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses skilled in developing e-learning platforms and creating accessible educational content, particularly those with experience in the health and social care sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, as the project seeks partners who can demonstrate innovative solutions that enhance learner engagement and accessibility. By participating in this tender, organisations can expand their portfolio and contribute to essential educational initiatives aimed at supporting adults returning to work. ## Notice Newham College of Further Education seeks to contract a technical partner to develop curriculum content focusing on the health and social care sector accessible via a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) designed for non-traditional learners and to support both blended and distance learning. The technical partner will work with the Local London Flexi-learn project which is funded by the Department for Education. We are seeking to procure a system which achieves the core objectives of: * Building on existing offers rather than replicating them * Ease of use * Accessibility * Interactivity of content The chosen technical partner will be expected to demonstrate their knowledge of existing provision, and how they will use it as a springboard for Flexi-Learn. The VLE platform and content needs to be flexible and easy to access for adults who are in work, or returning to work, with either low or intermediate level skills. The new VLE, with bespoke content backed by tutor support designed for non-traditional learners, is part of a three-pronged approach which also includes the development of curriculum content contextualised to working in health and social care, and delivery in venues best suited to learners. The maximum contract value is up to PS150,000 inclusive of VAT, and tenders must be from suitably qualified and experienced organisations to deliver the requested specification. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a6174171-f968-4b17-82f1-cf06850253bb | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Aug 2018 | | Submission deadline | 6 Aug 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 27 Aug 2018 - 29 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £150,000 | | 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 | NEWHAM COLLEGE OF FURTHER EDUCATION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E6 6ER | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI41 Hackney and Newham | | Local authority | Newham | | Electoral ward | East Ham | | Westminster constituency | East Ham | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 30 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 30211300 - Computer platforms - 48900000 - Miscellaneous software package and computer systems - 72212900 - Miscellaneous software development services and computer systems - 72514200 - Facilities management services for computer systems development - 72600000 - Computer support and consultancy services - 80420000 - E-learning services ## Release History - 3 Aug 2018 at 09:41 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a6174171-f968-4b17-82f1-cf06850253bb - 27 Jul 2018 at 15:59 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a6174171-f968-4b17-82f1-cf06850253bb - 27 Jul 2018 at 15:07 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a6174171-f968-4b17-82f1-cf06850253bb - 27 Jul 2018 at 14:32 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a6174171-f968-4b17-82f1-cf06850253bb - 26 Jul 2018 at 10:19 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a6174171-f968-4b17-82f1-cf06850253bb - 20 Jul 2018 at 16:04 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a6174171-f968-4b17-82f1-cf06850253bb ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a6174171-f968-4b17-82f1-cf06850253bb 3rd August 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/111169cf-6d1b-4208-a827-2b87f92e1e6a Local London Flexi-Learn VLE Platform and Development - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7f717af3-6359-4b3c-8a7f-3511b8a96ef6 Questions and Answers - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/78dfe162-d243-4e6f-98ab-7db8560b8a6d Questions and Answers - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/dfff4451-b752-4129-a28f-a640632b6d3b Questions and Answers - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/33b4619a-5679-429f-92ee-84f2e00ca949 Questions and Answers - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6d40d949-ea56-47da-b125-fc8884b4cbed Updated Questions and Answers ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
