    Brief

    The Contracting Authority is establishing an Open Framework of Training Service Providers to deliver adult skills and education training across Lancashire, Blackburn and Blackpool under the Procurement Act 2023. This is an open tender using the Light Touch Regime. The framework consists of three main lots with multiple sub-lots covering Skills for Life, Skills for Growth, and specialized sectors including Health/Public Services, Engineering, Construction, Digital Technology, Transport/Logistics, Creative Design, Sales/Marketing, and Apprenticeship Pathways. Training providers can apply for one or more lots with no limit on the number of providers appointed per lot, provided they meet all tender requirements. The framework will be available to the Contracting Authority and three Constituent Authorities (Blackburn with Darwen Council, Blackpool Borough Council, and Lancashire County Council) for their individual requirements. Detailed service specifications for each lot are provided in tender appendices B1, B2, and B3. Please note: framework placement does not guarantee contract awards, and framework contract value is an estimate subject to revision. All timescales are indicative and may change.
