East Durham College is seeking a maximum of three high-performing subcontract partners to deliver Adult Skills Fund (ASF) provision at Level 2 and above, with a clear focus on progression into sustained employment and higher-level learning for adults aged 19+ resident within the North East Mayoral Strategic Authority. Delivery may take place in community, employer, or college venues provided learner residency aligns with NECA postcode eligibility. The full contract value is a maximum of £450,000 and funding will be based on an 80/20 split; tenderers should bid for the contract amount they can effectively deliver and the College will determine contract award splits, which may be made incrementally through the academic year dependent on achievement of deliverables.

This opportunity is suited to high-performing subcontract partners or adult education providers able to deliver Level 2+ ASF courses within the North East Mayoral Strategic Authority and demonstrate progression into employment and higher-level learning. Key considerations include strict NECA postcode residency eligibility for learners, funding allocated on an 80/20 basis up to a £450,000 maximum, and the potential for performance-linked, incremental awards determined at the College’s discretion.
