Procurement description
East Durham College is looking to secure a
maximum of 1 organisation to deliver adult
education courses to people aged 19 years and
over who live in postcodes within the North East
Combined Authority area.
The contract value will be based on an 80/20 split.
The full contract value will be £125,000 - Tenderers
are invited to bid for the contract value stated that
they can effectively deliver within the specified
contract requirements. This may be split as
incremental awards throughout the academic year
dependent on achievement of deliverables.
Adults must live in an address with a North East
Combined Authority postcode, it is not the delivery
location. Provision is expected to be part-time and
must be linked to the North East Combined
Authority Strategic Aims for each area. East
Durham College is only seeking provision in subject
sector areas 4 (Engineering) and 5 (Construction),
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 ASF funded and not Free Courses
for Jobs.
