Education and training services

Tender description

AEB is seeking to raise the profile of adult learning to provide a viable option for our residents to re-train, move on and move up. For a number of years, the AEB has focused on basic and low-level skills which coupled with funding cuts has limited the impact of this vitally important programme. Through this tender exercise the WMCA is seeking to integrate its successful construction gateway programme into AEB to provide sustainability for this programme. This procurement will establish a suite of AEB service contracts, with a total estimated value of up to GBP 3.7 million for the initial 12-month contract. There will be in opportunity to extend this contract on an annual basis for a further two one (1) year periods. Thus the total contract period is 36 months and the total contract value is GBP 11.1 million. There is a virtual Q/A Session scheduled for 12 p.m., Tuesday 17 November, see the ITT Letter for more.
