Description

The College has a recent history of engagement with subcontractors to deliver ESFA Adult Education Budget (AEB) outcomes and wishes to continue to issue a flexible contract or contracts of a total funding value up to £1,000,000, from 6th September 2021 to 31 July 2022, with suitable training providers to deliver qualifications and/or programmes eligible for funding under the College's ESFA AEB funding contract on its behalf, under the following general rules: • All the provision must be delivered in the 2021/22 funding year; there is currently no scope to carry forward any funding to 2022/23. All the learning aims and learners must be eligible for Education Skills and Funding Agency (ESFA) ESFA AEB funding in 2021/22. • The delivery target group is solely adults who live in non-devolved funding areas of England. The College will not fund any learners who are aged under 19 and/or live in the Greater London Authority (GLA) or other devolved funding areas. • Providers wishing to apply for this opportunity must be registered on the Register of Training Organisations (ROTO) and they must have a track record of successful sub-contract delivery of qualifications. • The training must be delivered in full by the contracted training provider, i.e. only one level of sub-contracting is permitted and no second level subcontracting is permitted. • The Subcontractor, if awarded the contract, will be responsible for the recruitment of all learners, the delivery of training, the premises and resources required to deliver the training, awarding body accreditation and associated fees. • The Quality of provision will be paramount as the College will retain responsibility to the Education and Skills Funding Agency and OFSTED for programme quality. • The management fee retained by the College will typically be 20%.

Total Quantity or Scope

The gross contract value is up to £1,000,000, split over the period from 6th September 2021 to 31st July 2022 of the College's non devolved Adult Education Budget. The contract may be awarded to a number of suppliers. The College reserves the right to subcontract the whole amount to one applicant, or to split the subcontract amount two or more applicants and / or to subcontract to a value lower than the full amount advertised Providers wishing to apply for this opportunity must: a) Be registered on the Register of Training Organisations (ROTO) b) Have a track record of successful delivery, as a Subcontractor to an FE college, of the specific qualifications included in its delivery proposal c) Have the capacity to deliver at least 20% of the total contract value, or, demonstrate a very strong rationale for why we should consider an application for a lower allocation.
