Dumfries & Galloway Local Employability & Skills Partnership Employability Support for Disabled Individuals

Tender description

Dumfries and Galloway Local Employability & Skills Partnership (DGLEP) are looking to work with support organisations and training providers who can deliver a range of employability services to people of all ages who have a disability. The partnership is funded to provide and commission support for individuals who are unemployed, low skilled or who have a low-income role to support them to move towards and into learning, volunteering, training, education and/or work. There will also be support to help those who are low skilled and on low income to progress within employment. DGLEP oversees Scottish Government No One Left Behind (NOLB) and Best Start Bright Futures funding (BSBF) and UK Government Shared Prosperity Funding (SPF). The Partnership is committed to community wealth building and Fair Work. A mix of procurement routes are currently being considered and it is likely that Quick Quotes, Direct Awards and Invitation to Tender will be issued, whilst a longer-term flexible framework is being designed. We are making local providers aware of the work DGLEP is seeking to put into place in the next 18 months.
