    Brief

    The Greater London Authority (GLA) invites quotations from training providers to deliver vocational training under the London Talent Pathways project. Up to 2 successful bidders will be contracted to provide training services for London residents aged 19 and over, helping them develop skills for priority jobs in key growth sectors. The programme supports individuals facing barriers including low income, disability, or health challenges, and prioritizes underrepresented groups in London's economy. Training combines Adult Skills Fund (ASF) and Free Courses for Jobs (FCfJ) funding, running from now until March 2028, with a potential optional third year through March 2029 based on performance. Each successful bidder will receive up to £80,000 in funding, with an additional £20,000 available upon successful delivery. Bidders must submit proposals including planned learner numbers, course duration (maximum 12 months), and estimated costs. All courses must be completed by March 2028. Performance is monitored monthly, with payments made monthly based on validation of learner enrollment, progression, and completion evidence. Learner retention targets will be agreed during contract development. The successful tenderer must submit monthly returns by the last day of each month.
