Description

The Council has applied and received funds from ESFA to provide adult learning to residents. It is now looking to expand the Council's provision with new courses or delivery models where Buckinghamshire Adult Learning (BAL) does not currently have the expertise to deliver, thus making the best use of the funds granted.

BAL is looking to establish a list of approved providers (subcontractors) for a period of three years maximum, with the option to open annually, or more frequently if required, to invite more to join the list. All approved providers will be invited to participate in a mini-competition to win funding to deliver Adult Education Budget (AEB) and future Adult Skills Funding (ASF) on behalf of The Council. These subcontractors will allow the Council to:
• To provide immediate provision whilst expanding direct capacity. This might include working with sub-contractors to explore and learn about new sectors prior to investment in resources;
• Diversify our provision in terms of scope or scale including the development of new SSA areas or geographies linked to new or existing business contacts that BAL alone could not sufficiently provide coverage;
• To provide access to, or engagement with, a new range of customers;
• Support smaller providers to develop and grow their specialist provision and improve their quality.
