Adult Learning Services Dynamic Puchasing System

The London Borough of Hackney is seeking providers with relevant experience to tender to join a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to deliver or host a range of Adult & Community Learning courses, both accredited and non-accredited. This includes Community Learning, Vocational and Employability, Family Learning, ESOL, Maths, English and ICT. These providers will contribute to the delivery of specific community programmes to the ‘hardest to reach’ community groups in Hackney. The Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) model provides flexibility both for the Council and providers as new suppliers can, having met the exclusion and selection criteria, join the DPS throughout its duration. There is no limit to the number of providers included on a DPS, and providers who are unsuccessful when applying to join may reapply at any time. All elements of this tender will be managed online via Hackney's e-procurement portal ProContract under reference DN309118. The DPS will select the most suitable training providers for the identified needs via a process of mini-competition. The mini-competitions will be operated through ProContract. This contract falls under the Light Touch Regime of the EU Regulations 2015 and will be procured in line with light touch requirements. SQ responses for the first round under this DPS must be submitted by midnight 16th February 2018.
