Description

Hampshire County Council is procuring an Open Framework under the Light Touch Regime to onboard training delivery partners across all sectors including public, private, voluntary/community organisations and Employer Representative Groups. This Framework remains open for new applications from the date of publishing for the entire duration of the Framework and is lotted by organisation type.

To apply to the framework please go to https://in-tendhost.co.uk/hampshire/aspx/ProjectManage/21827

The framework is to support the Council to be able to quickly respond to grant and other funding opportunities to enable delivery of training to the public and employees of businesses across the entire county of Hampshire, including Portsmouth, Southampton and the Isle of Wight. Delivery may also be required in counties bordering Hampshire including Wiltshire, Berkshire, Dorset, Surrey and West Sussex.

The Framework is open for 10 years and will be subject to various award procedures such as mini-competitions, e-auctions (for price only awards) and some circumstances where direct awards may be required.

We are seeking engagement from all types of training organisations including Further Education Colleges, Universities and other Educational establishments as well as private sector and voluntary/community sector delivery partners. We are also seeking engagement from Employer Representative Groups.

All awards through the framework will vary based on funding source and grant conditions and some awards may require to be awarded and delivered very quickly due to the timing constraints placed on the Council by the grant funding.
