Tender description

TfL requires a Training Provider(s) to manage, deliver and develop a range of training and qualifications, appropriate to the Tunnelling and Underground Construction and transport industries. The training will be delivered at the Tunnelling and Underground Construction Academy (TUCA) site, which has been designed to provide a realistic, simulated work environment that will enable the delivery of the full range of skills and qualifications appropriate to the tunnelling and underground construction industry. TUCA was established by Crossrail Limited in 2011 and will continue to deliver the training and skills required by the contractors working on the Crossrail project and beyond, providing an unrivalled source of well trained, work ready local labour. Tideway is also a long-time supporter and committed to TUCA, recognising its vital role in upskilling the underground construction workforce. The Training Provider(s) will continue to deliver up-to-date and appropriate skills and qualifications, based on employer demand and identified skills needs from 7 January 2017. The service provider will also be expected to maximise the training revenue opportunities from the TUCA site. TfL will provide the service provider exclusive use of approximately 50 percent of the TUCA site to enhance opportunities to generate additional revenue from training or events.
