    Brief

    Durham Council is establishing a multi-lot venue hire framework to support education and training delivery across three key areas: Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) and Supported Employment; Adult Education and Apprenticeships; and Medium to Large-Scale Education and Engagement Events. The Council seeks to partner with multiple venues that can provide flexible, suitable locations tailored to specific training needs and requirements. Venue selection will be based on factors including training support requirements, preferred location, venue type, and capacity. The Council will establish a communication mechanism to contact providers efficiently regarding venue availability and location details when hire requirements arise. This is a framework agreement, and the Council reserves the right to reopen it periodically to expand the provider base.
