Description
East Durham College is looking to secure one organisation to deliver adult education courses to people aged 19 years and over who live in postcodes within the non-devolved areas of County Durham, Sunderland and Gateshead.
The contract value is £200,000 and will be based on an 80/20 split. Adults must live in an address with a County Durham, Sunderland or Gateshead postcode, it is not the delivery location. Provision is expected to be part-time and must be linked to the North East LEP or LSIP Strategic Aims for each area. East Durham College is seeking provision which moves adults either directly into jobs or closer to the employment market. We will not accept large volumes of employability provision or distance learning. We would expect all the funded provision to be AEB funded and not Skills for Jobs.
Providers must have experience of delivering provision to meet local skills needs and be able to provide verified data in the following areas:
• Achievement rates which are above national averages
• High levels of positive progression into employment
• History of achieving contracts in the last two years
The positive progression must be into employment, further learning or improved prospects. We are not looking to deliver generic employability programmes.
We will only look to contract with providers who are based in the North East and they must have a permanent base in County Durham, Sunderland or Gateshead.
Application instructions and details requirements are provided in the documents attached to this notice (ITT & Application To Join The Approved Supplier List)
