    Brief

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.
