Description

South Gloucestershire Council is looking to establish a multi-provider Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of Apprenticeship Training providers to support them in utilising apprenticeship funds held in the Council's Apprenticeship Levy account. Providers will do this by training and assessing apprentices and supporting the Council in the delivery of quality Apprenticeship programmes that secure best value and operates within the Apprenticeship funding and contract rules.

Providers will be expected to follow current Education and Skills Funding Agency funding rules and guidance and specifications around the training and assessment of apprentices.

The DPS will run for a total duration of 4 years and the procurement will be managed in line with the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

Round 1 of the DPS will close at 12noon on 11th September. Successive rounds will run in the spirit of the DPS as continually open, therefore Providers can apply to join at any time and any application will trigger the closing of the current round, after which the response will be evaluated. The closing of a current round will automatically trigger the opening of the next round and the DPS will remain open for the full four year term.

The initial DPS stage and subsequent mini-competitions will be run via the Supplying the South West e-tendering portal at the link below:
www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk

Providers must ensure that they have the most up to date documents by registering on this system and expressing an interest under reference DN355748.
