The Provider Panel is divided into two Lots which categorise service requirements.
Lot 1 - Community Learning.
Lot 2 - Accredited Learning. Please note that the Invitation to Tender documentation (Provider Panel documents) will be issued and available for free via the Council's e-tendering system. Organisations can register electronically for the documents via the NEPO portal http:// www.nepoportal.org. Then access the suppliers' area, select Durham to review the current tender opportunitiesand access the tender reference DN421200.
Please note on this initial opening, the Council has also issued a Call-Off with further competition for Contracts for Community Learning and the documents are also available on tender reference DN421200.
