The UK Government's LEVI fund supports local authorities in England to work with the chargepoint industry, to improve the roll out and commercialisation of local charging infrastructure. These public chargepoints will help residents who don't have off-street parking and need to charge their electric vehicles (EVs). Buckinghamshire Council would like to engage with the market as part of the development of procurement. The Council is also keen to explore all available options and requests information on fully-funded models (i.e. utilising funding from your business only) and hybrid approaches (i.e. offering separate bidding 'Lots' for LEVI and fully funded models). We will review the responses from the market and use these to make an informed decision on the most appropriate commercial model for the Council. Further information on the LEVI fund can be found on the Energy Savings Trust website . [...]

Buckinghamshire Adult Learning (BAL) is a service area within Buckinghamshire Council (the Council), which has contracts with the Education Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) to deliver training opportunities funded by them. Much of these are directly delivered by BAL but, in order to fully use its Adult Skills Fund (ASF) allocation and ensure it addresses the key priorities of both the Council and the ESFA, it subcontracts part of its delivery. This enables BAL to deliver to target markets and in geographical areas that it would otherwise be unable to reach. In the context of this procurement potential providers and bidders are hereafter referred to as subcontractors. In 2024 BAL established a list of approved providers (subcontractors) for a period of three years maximum, with the option to open annually, or more frequently if required, to invite more to join the list. The opportunity titled Adult Learning - Delivery of Learning (2024) was published on Contracts Finder on 8 April 2024, and last edited on 10 April 2024. Original opportunity published on Contracts Finder: https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0dc0da39-18b9-4672-9466-c1721241b91f In line with the opportunity above BAL is now re-opening this procurement process for the 2025/2026 academic year, for a period of two years maximum, to reach out to additional delivery partners in specific areas of delivery needed to meet the skills gaps within Buckinghamshire. All potential providers admitted to the Approved Providers List (i.e. approved providers) will be invited to participate to submit bids in a mini competition to win funding to deliver Adult Education Budget (AEB) [...]

Buckinghamshire Council is excited to announce an incredible opportunity to partner with us on the Connect to Work programme. This initiative aims to break down barriers to employment and provide sustainable job opportunities for individuals with complex needs. By joining forces with us, you'll not only help transform lives but also contribute to the growth and productivity of our local economy. What is Connect to Work? -The Get Britain Working White Paper, released in November 2024, introduced the key supported employment programme, which aims to help eligible individuals secure sustainable, long-term employment. Currently, it is estimated that there are about 3million economically inactive people in the UK, of whom 1.9million people would like to work, but require support to do so. In 2023, 9,600 Buckinghamshire residents were economically inactive and wished to work but required support to do so. Buckinghamshire Council is expected to support 700 individuals (at the peak) at an anticipated cost of £2.9million per year, delivered over an initial three-year period, with the opportunity to extend to 5 years. It will help connect local work, health and skills support and help eligible participants to secure sustainable work through a voluntary supported employment model, adhering to Individual Placement & Support (IPS) and Supported Employment Quality Framework (SEQF) frameworks. Through this, the programme will expand the use of the proven five stage Supported Employment model of 'place, train and maintain'. How will it be managed and delivered?- Buckinghamshire Council is the Accountable Body. Working with the Department [...]
