## Summary

The Devon County Council is conducting a tender process titled "CP2099-21 Open Up To Skills", focusing on personal development training services aimed at supporting the hospitality, catering, leisure, tourism, and retail sectors significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This project will provide 700 additional training places over an 18-month period, consisting of both non-accredited and accredited training, with a completion deadline by March 2023. The updated deadline for submissions is now 1st September 2021. The geographical focus for this procurement includes three specific regions within Devon, United Kingdom.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the training and development sector, particularly those specialising in non-accredited and accredited training solutions. Companies that can offer flexible and innovative training methods tailored to the needs of individuals and businesses affected by the pandemic will be well-suited to participate. Additionally, businesses with experience in upskilling staff within the hospitality, catering, leisure, tourism, and retail sectors could significantly benefit from this initiative by partnering with the Devon County Council to enhance their service offerings.

## Notice

As part of Devon County Council's Recovery Response, the 'Open Up to Skills' project will provide a menu of additional training opportunities for those individuals and companies within the hospitality, catering, leisure, tourism and retail sectors who have been most adversely affected by the COVID pandemic. Across three geographical areas, the project will support 700 additional training places through an even split of non-accredited and accredited training places over an 18-month period (to be completed by March 2023). The project will also support 300 businesses to upskill their staff or support redeployment across the County. Successful delivery partners will be encouraged to be flexible and innovative in their approach, but their client base must be located in the three key geographical areas.
