Description

The University of Manchester seeks to expand its offering of high-quality online learning programmes over the next three years, in addition to the support provided within existing faculties and professional services. 
The initiative for Manchester Online seeks to establish a dedicated internal agency to expand our offerings for online education and lifelong learning in collaboration with a flexible partnership (flex partner). 
Information, formalities and necessary requirements to be met will be set out in the procurement documents, all of which are freely available via the University's procurement portal In-Tend - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/manchesteruniversity
The University of Manchester no longer meets the criteria of a ‘body governed by public law’ and is therefore not considered a contracting authority for the purposes of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and/or any replacement legislation. As a result, the University of Manchester will no longer be subject to the regime contained in The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and/or any replacement legislation with effect from 1 August 2023. However, as an institution founded for the public good, an exempt charity and an organization in receipt of public funds, the University has a duty to manage expenditure in an appropriate manner and aims to deliver value for money across its non-pay spend by adhering to good procurement practice.

City College Plymouth Subcontracting 25/26

City College Plymouth is looking to source an organisation to carry out subcontract training on their behalf with specific sport courses and S1 Adults' & Children's Care; SS3 Animal Care; S6 IT; S7 Beauty Therapy; S8 Sport, S15 Business in the 25/26 academic year. They are also looking to appoint a subcontractor to work with the college to teach E-Sports. The ESFA guidance for 2024/25 requires the College to carry out a tendering process prior to the allocation of sub-contracting contracts. This applies to both the study programme, adult provision and traineeships. City College Plymouth is committed to growing and diversifying the range of programmes and opportunities we deliver to widen participation, deliver to niche markets, engage in new and emerging markets and our contribution to skills needs. In order to achieve this, the College has taken the strategic decision to subcontract part of its provision. This supports the College's strategy to provide education and training which meets the needs of students and employers. All subcontracting will be in line with the EFSA requirements and for the purpose of one or more of the following: a. enhance the opportunities available to young people and adults b. fill gaps in niche or expert provision, or provide better access to training facilities c. support better geographical access for learners d. offer an entry point for disadvantaged groups e. Support individuals who share protected characteristics, where there might otherwise be gaps The rationale of the subcontracting is to enhance the quality of our learner offer. We do not offer subcontracts to meet short term funding objectives. We ensure learners receive the best possible education and training. By subcontracting we enhance the opportunities available to learners, we use the subcontractor and their expertise to provide better access to facilities or to fill a gap in expertise or niche or expert provision. It enables learners to have better geographical access to their education and supports all learners who may be disadvantaged enter into education. Subcontracting will support individuals who share particular characteristics where otherwise there are gaps City College has split the requirement into 3 appropriate lots each with its only specialist requirements, Providers wishing to apply for this opportunity must have an active UKPRN and must be able to demonstrate successful sub-contract delivery of qualifications and financial standing sufficient to meet the ESFA's expected due diligence standards. All training must be delivered in full by the contracted training provider, no further sub-contracting of any training is permitted by an appointed subcontractor unless specifically agreed. The Subcontractor, if awarded the contract, will be responsible for the recruitment of all learners, the delivery of elements of training, the premises and resources required to deliver the training, awarding body accreditation and associated fees. The successful institution will have a robust and rigorous approach to meeting the administration requirements set out by the college, this will include but not limited to ensuring timetables meet all the demands of the study program and are sufficiently detailed to support colleagues, clear break downs of the components of the study program to support in clear identification of other key parts such as enrichment, personal development and tutorial KPIs and minimum expectations Expectations Have an active UKPRN.
