Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority - Adult Education Budget 2019-23

Description

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority's (CPCA) intentions for the procured element of the devolved Adult Education Budget (AEB) only. The overall commissioning approach for AEB will involve a combination of plan-led grant funding and procured provision. This tender is concerned solely with the procured activity. The principal purpose of the AEB is to engage adults aged 19+ and provide them with the required skills enabling them to enter and sustain employment, an apprenticeship/traineeship, or other further learning. In the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough region, devolution will enable adult skills provision and learning to be more flexible and agile in its application. The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough area has a population of over circa 850,000 and it consists of six Local Authority districts - the cities of Cambridge and Peterborough, the rural districts of East Cambridgeshire, Fenland, Huntingdonshire, and South Cambridgeshire. Cambridgeshire and Peterborough's economic geography is defined by three labour market areas: • Peterborough and surroundings (including north Huntingdonshire) • The Fens (including Fenland, some of East Cambridgeshire and part of Huntingdonshire) • Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire (including southern parts of Huntingdonshire and East Cambridgeshire as a third)
