Description

Newham College of Further Education seeks to contract a technical partner to develop curriculum content focusing on the health and social care sector accessible via a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) designed for non-traditional learners and to support both blended and distance learning.

The technical partner will work with the Local London Flexi-learn project which is funded by the Department for Education.

We are seeking to procure a system which achieves the core objectives of:
• Building on existing offers rather than replicating them
• Ease of use
• Accessibility
• Interactivity of content

The chosen technical partner will be expected to demonstrate their knowledge of existing provision, and how they will use it as a springboard for Flexi-Learn.

The VLE platform and content needs to be flexible and easy to access for adults who are in work, or returning to work, with either low or intermediate level skills.

The new VLE, with bespoke content backed by tutor support designed for non-traditional learners, is part of a three-pronged approach which also includes the development of curriculum content contextualised to working in health and social care, and delivery in venues best suited to learners.

The maximum contract value is up to £150,000 inclusive of VAT, and tenders must be from suitably qualified and experienced organisations to deliver the requested specification.
