Description

The RNN Group (the 'College') is seeking to procure a framework for the delivery of education and training provision from a network of contractors referred to as 'Providers' who will be selected through this procurement exercise. This ITT and any attachments contain the information and instructions that will facilitate your submission of a compliant tender. Please read the information carefully as any non-compliance with the instructions, may result in the disqualification of your tender from the procurement process.

The College is undertaking and managing this procurement in accordance with its general obligations under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the 'Regulations'). Whilst the College is not obliged to do so, this procurement is being conducted in accordance with Regulations 74 to 77, the 'light touch regime', to ensure fairness and transparency throughout the entire process. This procurement is to ensure that the College can continue to meet both employer and community demand for provision in key sectors and areas of growth for both the RNN Group and the local economies that we serve.

Please note that the above contract values are based on the best information available to the College at this time.
