Open Framework for Skills Development for Hampshire 2023-2033
- Framework background
-
Hampshire County Council has launched a new Open Framework for Skills Development for Hampshire to onboard training delivery partners across all sectors including public, private, voluntary/community organisations and Employer Representative Groups.
The framework is to support the Council to be able to quickly respond to grant and other funding opportunities to enable delivery of training to the public and employees of businesses across the entire county of Hampshire, including Portsmouth, Southampton and the Isle of Wight. Delivery may also be required in counties bordering Hampshire including Wiltshire, Berkshire, Dorset, Surrey and West Sussex.
The Framework launched on 1st August 2023 and remains open for new applications from this launch date for the entire 10 year duration of the Framework and is lotted by organisation type. The Framework will be subject to various award procedures such as mini-competitions, e-auctions (for price only awards) and some circumstances where direct awards may be required. All awards through the framework will vary based on funding source and grant conditions and some awards may require to be awarded and delivered very quickly due to the timing constraints placed on the Council by the grant funding.
We are seeking engagement from all types of training organisations including Further Education Colleges, Universities and other Educational establishments as well as private sector and voluntary/community sector delivery partners. We are also seeking engagement from Employer Representative Groups.
