ESF Co-financing
The Skills Funding
Agency is tendering for the delivery of provision for young
people NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training). Enable
has submitted an expression of interest (PQQ). We will know
whether this has been successful by 5 October and if it is we
will be invited to submit a full tender. The PQQ did not
provide any details about the type of provision required, how
much funding is available or how many learners it will target.
We will need to decide whether to submit our own tender, on
behalf of members, or join a wider partnership, perhaps with
Nottingham and Notts Futures / Connexions. We will have a
clearer view about which approach we recommend when we have
seen the tender specification and talked to Connexions and
others. At this early stage, it would be helpful to know
whether or not your organisation would be interesting in being
part of a tender for this provision or (in confidence) whether
you have submitted your own PQQ. To discuss this further
contact Don Hayes on 0115 934 9543 or email don@enable.uk.net
