Description

Gloucestershire County Council currently provides a range of courses to assist the people of Gloucestershire back to work, improve their employment prospects, confidence and health & wellbeing.

The majority of provision is delivered by the service direct delivery arm, Adult Education in Gloucestershire (AEiG). Where need is best met through local or specialist services, the Council seeks to procure delivery from external providers.

This intention of this procurement is to set up a framework from which contracts will be called off of varying lengths up to a maximum of 12 months, depending on the type of courses or piece of work, for each qualifying academic year.

• Lot 1 First Steps
• Lot 2 Employability
• Lot 3 Adults with Learning Difficulties and/or Disabilities
• Lot 4 Adult Supported Internships
• Lot 5 Local Flex

Tenderers who are successfully appointed to the framework for Lots 1-4 will automatically have the right to bid for work on Lot 5
