Tender description

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).

About the buyer

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority buys as a local government organisation, with its own Commercial and Procurement team supporting colleagues across the authority. Tenders are published through YORtender, the authority's e-procurement system. Some opportunities also appear on Contracts Finder and the Find a Tender Service. Smaller contracts go out as Requests to Quote, with Invitations to Tender used for larger opportunities. External frameworks including the Crown Commercial Service, YPO and NEPO let the authority procure goods, works and services without running a full tender. The team also builds social value into its procurement processes.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority's contract awards have been in business services, software and information systems and architectural and engineering services.
