CO0265 ACL Essex Learning Partnership Fund 2022-23

ECC has allocated funding to the Essex Learning Partnership Fund (ELPF) to deliver training which supports its strategic aims. This funding draws on ECC's Adult Education Budget funding allocation from the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA). There is a maximum of £225,000 available for non-accredited provision.

The maximum funding for which organisations can apply is £75,000. Projects must deliver a minimum of 250 enrolments.

ECC is looking to award funding to organisations then can demonstrate the most effective way in which the money will be used and has the greatest impact on learners. Funding will be allocated to the highest scoring bids that meet the minimum requirements as set out in the Tender document.

Projects supported by this funding are intended to help address the issue of worklessness and to reduce the social isolation and mobility in Essex.

To reach individuals and local communities across Essex, we would particularly welcome bids from voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations whose reach extends to those in greatest need.

Bidders wishing to apply for funding will need to complete all the questions and requests for information laid out in the Tender.
