The training will focus on various aspects such as travel planning, road safety, and safeguarding, among others. The initiative aims to support local vulnerable adults in Staffordshire Moorlands, Lichfield, and South Staffordshire. The procurement stage is in the planning phase, with an engagement end date set for 21 December 2022. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses offering training services to engage with the public sector. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are well-suited to compete for this opportunity. Interested providers are required to submit their expressions of interest by email to richard.deacon@staffordshire.gov.uk by 21 December 2022. The training budget for this service is capped at £15,000, covering all training requirements, materials, and associated costs. ## Notice Staffordshire County Council (SCC) is inviting providers to express an interest, to commissioners, in delivering a series of training events and associated training materials to enable the provision of travel training to vulnerable adults. The training is intended, and should be designed, to be delivered to volunteer buddies and will follow and include a 'train the trainer' model. The training should ensure, as a minimum, volunteer buddies are then aware of and able to apply/deliver: * Supporting Travel Planning * Travel Skills and Road Safety * Using Different Methods of Transport * Managing Personal Safety in the Community * Considerations for working in a Person-Centred way * Support Planning Skills * Safeguarding * Covid-19 considerations Volunteer buddies will be sourced via a Staffordshire Volunteering Buddying Scheme being piloted by SCC and delivered by Support Staffordshire (who provide support to the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise sector), in the districts of Staffordshire Moorlands, Lichfield and South Staffordshire. It is anticipated that training will initially be required for approximately 15 volunteers, with approximately 5 of those then requiring further 'train the trainer' training. These are currently just approximate numbers that will be finalised at a later date. The scheme is aimed at providing temporary support to help local vulnerable adults to feel less lonely and socially isolated and increase their confidence and skills to access community activities, social care services and employment/volunteering opportunities. The vulnerable adults requiring support may have an assessed social care need (for example, an assessed eligible need for transport) and may include individuals with a learning disability, autism or other neurodiversity, or mental health need. The maximum budget available, to include all training requirements, materials and associated costs is PS15,000. Expressions of interest should be returned, by email, to richard.deacon@staffordshire.gov.uk by 21 December 2022 and upon receipt, providers will be provided with a copy of a more detailed specification and a quotation template to complete and return by 11 January 2023 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ce033818-b247-4b01-9984-972429f84367 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Dec 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 21 Dec 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | 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 | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | STAFFORDSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | STAFFORD | | Post town | Stoke-on-Trent | | Postcode | ST16 2DH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG2 Shropshire and Staffordshire | | ITL 3 | TLG24 Staffordshire CC | | Local authority | Stafford | | Electoral ward | Forebridge | | Westminster constituency | Stafford | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80500000 - Training services ## Release History - 14 Dec 2022 at 08:28 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ce033818-b247-4b01-9984-972429f84367 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ce033818-b247-4b01-9984-972429f84367 14th December 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
