The tender seeks to engage up to two Delivery Partners for a period of 23 months, with an estimated contract value of approximately £513,333. The procurement is currently in the active tender stage and is set to conclude on 1 November 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 3 January 2022 and will run until 30 November 2023, with the services primarily centred around higher education and training within the Yorkshire and the Humber region of England. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in higher education, adult training, and employment services to collaborate with the Kirklees Council in delivering integrated support for the unemployed. Particularly, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSE) are encouraged to participate, as the requirement for match funding is structured to support their involvement. Companies adept at co-designing services and providing employment support will find this tender aligns well with their capabilities, allowing them to potentially expand their reach and foster growth within their sectors. ## Notice The Council of the Borough of Kirklees (the "Council") is seeking to work with a maximum of two (2) suitable Delivery Partners for a delivery period of twenty three (23) months to work with us, at risk, to co-design, develop and deliver the Kirklees Council response to the European Social Fund, Enhanced Local Flexibility for the Unemployed Call which if successful would be part funded through European Social Fund ("ESF"). If successful this funding would enable the Council to further develop an integrated employment and skills offer, and would inform a future devolved employment and skills service. This could bring together information, advice and guidance alongside the delivery of employment, skills, apprenticeships and wider support for individuals and employers. Further detail is provided in the Specification document. Works Better For All provision is estimated to start in September 2021 subject to approval by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), the Managing Authority for the European Social Fund Programme 2014 - 2020. The anticipated commencement date for the Contract(s) is 3rd January 2022 and the programme will run until 30 November 2023. The estimated value of the Services to be awarded is approximately PS513,333.00 for the entire twenty three (23) month duration of the programme. Delivery Partners are required to provide 50% match funding (or 25% for VCS Organisations). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ea776226-a646-4a11-868a-8a3313341de9 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | 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 | 27 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | 1 Nov 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 3 Jan 2022 - 30 Nov 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £513,333 | | 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 | KIRKLEES COUNCIL | | Locality | HUDDERSFIELD | | Post town | Huddersfield | | Postcode | HD1 2NF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE44 Calderdale and Kirklees | | Local authority | Kirklees | | Electoral ward | Newsome | | Westminster constituency | Huddersfield | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 80300000 - Higher education services - 80400000 - Adult and other education services - 80500000 - Training services - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 27 Sep 2021 at 12:12 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ea776226-a646-4a11-868a-8a3313341de9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ea776226-a646-4a11-868a-8a3313341de9 27th September 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.kirklees.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
