Description

The Contracting Authority in this procurement is the Secretary of State for Education
acting through the Education and Skills Funding Agency (the "ESFA"). The ESFA is an
executive agency of the Department for Education, exercising functions to fund adult
education and skills.
The ESFA, acting as a Co-Financing Organisation for the European Social Fund
("ESF"), is procuring education and training services to meet priorities identified by
Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) area European Structural and Investment Funds
Sub-Committees. As a Co-Financing Organisation, the ESFA provides match funding at
Priority Axis level utilising sources of funding as match for ESF funded activity.
The invitation to tender is for Priority Axis 1. Priority Axis 1 supports activity to increase
participation in the labour market and thereby improve social inclusion and mobility. The ESFA wishes to make ESF Community Grants available in the form of small grants
(up to £20,000) to third sector and other small organisations for the purpose of
mobilising disadvantaged or excluded unemployed and inactive people to enable their
progress towards employment. Organisations that access grants need to be well placed
to reach excluded individuals facing barriers, which hinder their access to mainstream
provision Grants will:
 engage with marginalised individuals and support them to re-engage with
education, training, or employment;
 will support a range of activities aimed at assisting the disadvantaged or
excluded to move closer to the labour market by improving their access to
mainstream ESF and domestic employment and skills provision; and
 will provide support to the hardest to reach communities and individuals,
especially those from deprived communities, to access employment or further
learning and training.
