    Brief

    The Devon and Torbay Combined County Authority (DTCCA) is seeking to appoint training providers to deliver Adult Skills Fund (ASF) and Free Courses for Jobs (FCFJ) programmes for learners aged 19 and over across Devon and Torbay during the 2026/27 academic year. This procurement is being conducted through a further competition under the Devon County Council (DCC) Skills Framework Lot 1. The DTCCA aims to secure high-quality delivery partners capable of providing responsive, learner-centred provision that meets local needs, particularly supporting individuals furthest from the labour market. Selected providers will contribute to the county's strategic priorities including economic development, social inclusion, and community wellbeing. Devon County Council is managing the procurement process on behalf of the DTCCA and will administer the contract with successful providers on the authority's behalf.
