What is being bought

Published requirement description

Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) looked to procure adult skills Level 3 activity under the devolved Adult Education Budget (AEB) and the national Free Courses for Jobs Level 3 offer, using a ‘single pot’ approach for the remainder of the 2022/23 academic year through to the end of the 2023/24 academic year.

The intent of the GM’s Adult Skills Level 3 targeted offer is to support:

The priorities of the Greater Manchester Strategy 2021 – 2031 good lives for all:

Greater Manchester is a great place to grow up, get on and grow old; a great place to invest, do business, visit and study to become:

A greener Greater Manchester: responding to the climate emergency.

A fairer Greater Manchester: addressing inequalities and improving wellbeing for all

A more prosperous Greater Manchester: driving local and UK growth.

To develop the occupational competences needed to progress further in learning, work or careers, on courses aligned to Greater Manchester’s key growth and foundational occupational areas.

To improve the skills of residents and be more productive or retrain to find a better job supporting in-work progression for adults into higher level careers, adapting to changing employer needs.

Occupational skills gaps to support our business needs, providing employers with a locally skilled workforce.

This opportunity was commissioned as a further competition/call off from the education, work and skills flexible procurement system.
