Published requirement description

To enable easy access to funding, employment and skills providers can become a ‘trusted partner’ who must met the criteria set out by Luton Council when funding becomes available. Funding may come from these following streams: UKSPF, Multiply, ESFA, Adult Education Budget (AEB) and Community Learning Fund. ’Trusted Partners’ will have to complete an expression of interest form which allows an organisation to fast track to available funding.

Lot #1Luton Adult Learning uses ESFA grant funding currently Community Learning (from 24/25… East of England

Luton Adult Learning uses ESFA grant funding currently Community Learning (from 24/25 “Tailored Learning”) to commission/subcontract a small amount of delivery to local grass roots organisations. This model has been used for 10 years.

As additional funding streams are released; for example by Government e.g. Multiply, UKSPF and others we would like to have an Approved Provider List for Trusted Partners in place so that we can streamline subcontracting to local Providers. Funding streams are often confirmed by funding body late, leaving little time for a full procurement process. Using an APL will mean that learning can start sooner and targets are more likely to be met. Meeting targets can result in more funding in the future.

If successful in their Application Providers will be invited to join the Approved Provider List and mini competitions will take place from the Approved Provider List when funding becomes available. Membership of the Approved Provider List does not guarantee any work.

All documents are available on the Proactis (Due North/ProContract) e-tendering portal.

How this buyer will score bids.
The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more

How bids were scored

Price: 100%

see application documents: 100%

What this means for your bid

Price carries 100 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 10 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
