Adult Skills Fund Course Delivery

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.
