Education and training services

Tender description

London’s indicative Adult Education Budget (AEB) is £311m per year although the final amount being delegated will only be confirmed by DFE in early 2019. The GLA expects to procure a range of adult training services resulting in multiple contracts for services, amounting to approximately 130m GBP. However, this value could go up to 200m GBP over four years, subject to the final AEB allocation to GLA confirmed by DFE. It is intended that successful providers will enter into individual contracts to deliver a range of education and training services to both in-work and out of work London residents aged 19 or above, to help them gain qualifications, progress into further education and ultimately access and sustain employment. Lot 1: Adult Education Provision to out of work Londoners This lot is envisaged to relate to adult education training contracts providing support to unemployed and economically inactive Londoners 19 years old and above, who are disadvantaged in the Labour Market, including young people (19-24) who are not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET). The successful providers are expected to offer education and training services to equip Londoners with the skills and knowledge they need to gain qualifications, progress into further education and access work. It is intended that multiple service contracts will be awarded within this lot, which are expected to constitute approximately 75 % of the total procurement value. The GLA will be using the ProContract e-tendering portal for this opportunity.
