Digital Skills Framework

1.1 This invitation to tender (ITT) is issued by West Yorkshire Combined Authority (Combined Authority). The Combined Authority is running this procurement process on its own behalf. This procurement process is for an Adult Digital Skills Training Framework which is a multiple lot, multiple supplier framework, with up to five suppliers appointed to each lot. This competition will appoint five Delivery Partners for each lot with tenderers having the ability to apply for one or both lots in this process. There are two lots available and therefore the Combined Authority will look to appoint up to ten Delivery Partners. Once appointed the tenderer will be one of up to five Delivery Partners for that chosen lot however as this is a framework there is no guarantee of revenue to the selected suppliers. Indicative estimations of likely throughput have been included with further detail in appendix 1. The framework will be run for 4 years (2+2 break clause) with a maximum value of £30 million (not guaranteed).
