Description

ECW was formerly known as the Cheshire & Warrington Local Enterprise Partnership (C&W LEP). It is also responsible for promoting Cheshire and Warrington as a great place to visit, live, work, invest and study through Marketing Cheshire, which is an integral part of ECW and is designated by Visit England as the sub-region's Local Visitor Economy Partnership (LVEP).

Following completion of our recent 'Delivery of the North West Industrial Decarbonisation Cluster Plan' workstream, and support to Net Zero North West to establish its new business model, ECW are looking to further support the delivery of industrial decarbonisation alongside Net Zero North West (NZNW) and the North West Net Zero Hub via the creation of a comprehensive data platform (Project Intelligence Platform - PIP). 

The Platform is required to enable the industrial decarbonisation cluster to have access to as comprehensive and usable set of data as possible about the industrial decarbonisation projects in the pipeline and ultimately underway/delivered. This will ensure that the cluster can continue to realise the investment required, support the job creation, and carbon reduction goals essential for our regional transition to a low-carbon economy and the platform itself will need to enable the wider partnership to measure and demonstrate progress / success to wider stakeholders such as government and investors. 

This procurement exercise is being conducted as a below threshold open tender. The tender documents comprise this ITT document and any other supporting documents. This procurement seeks specialist support from a high-quality supplier to deliver the development (stage 1) and population (stage 2) of a comprehensive Project Intelligence Platform (PIP).

The successful bidder will be required to deliver services in accordance with all tender documents and the contract to be placed with the successful bidder. Tenderers are requested to study the specification in detail and ensure that the specified requirements can be met and thus your understanding of our requirements is reflected in your Pricing Schedule return. 

The contract is expected to commence Wednesday 16th January 2025 with the exact dates to be agreed depending on the agreement between the successful provider and ECW.

Evaluation of the Skills Bootcamps Programme

Enterprise Cheshire and Warrington (ECW), a council-owned organisation, works alongside elected leaders to make the region the healthiest, most sustainable, inclusive, and growing place in the country. We collaborate with the three local councils, industry leaders, and community partners to shape economic and transport strategies, deliver skills and employment training and business support, and ensure that the voice of business is heard in local decision-making. Through its Marketing Cheshire division, ECW also champions the region as an outstanding place to live, work, invest, study, and visit. ECW seeks to appoint an experienced and independent evaluation provider to deliver a focused and practical assessment of the Skills Bootcamps Programme. The purpose of this evaluation is to provide a clear understanding of the quality, effectiveness, and overall impact of the programme across the region, capturing the perspectives of learners, employers, training providers, and other key stakeholders. The findings will support ECW in strengthening future delivery models and ensuring that the Skills Bootcamps continue to meet the needs of both learners and employers. The evaluation will assess the effectiveness of programme delivery and the extent to which it has achieved its intended outcomes. It will examine the experiences of training providers, learners and employers as well as local partners. The evaluation will review initial engagement and onboarding through to the completion of delivery, assessing how effectively ECW's support mechanisms have functioned. The evaluator will consider the level of alignment between the design of bootcamps and employer needs, the quality and consistency of delivery, and the barriers that providers may have faced in achieving successful outcomes. The review should also capture evidence of good practice and lessons learned that can inform future programme design.

Home Office English Language Testing (HOELT) Services

The Home Office English Language Test (HOELT) Programme vision is to deliver a best-in-class language testing service, underpinned by automation and efficiency to enable critical UK Visa and Immigration decision making. To do this, we need to deliver a secure, accessible and fair English Language Testing service for our customers.   This procurement seeks a fully remote language testing service, balancing continuity with improvements and transformation. HOELT will move to a digital-by-default approach, while upholding the rigorous standards necessary to support our immigration decisions. The successful provider will deliver a service that combines technological innovation with security assurance, enabling customers to demonstrate their English language skills with confidence and convenience throughout their UK immigration journey.  Overview of the Service: The Supplier shall provide a fully managed Remote Testing service.  HOELTs shall be delivered securely in any location where the Customer chooses to take the test, provided secure test conditions are met.  The HOELTs shall be available in two formats:   2-Facet: Speaking and Listening (A1 to C2)   4-Facet: Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing (A1 to C2)  The HOELT Fees shall be regulated, as determined by the Authority. All HOELT scores shall map clearly to CEFR levels A1 to C2, as published by the Council of Europe.  Authority recognises that there is significant uncertainty regarding future demand for English Language Testing (ELT) services in each country and location, the advertised contract value must be concidered in this context. This uncertainty arises from a combination of factors, including:  Ongoing changes to UK immigration policy following the Immigration White Paper;  The transition to a new contracting model for the delivery of ELT services;  Broader external influences such as global events, geopolitical developments, environmental disruptions, and demographic shifts.  Given this context, the Authority is unable to provide indicative forecasts or guarantees regarding future test volumes. The Service must therefore be demonstrably scalable and responsive to fluctuations in demand, both increases and decreases. The Supplier shall proactively manage changes in demand and demonstrate flexibility in adapting to evolving Service requirements throughout the Term.
