Dynamic Purchasing System for Training Services

Descriptions

Efficiency East Midlands Ltd (EEM) is a procurement consortia which establishes and manages a range of procurement routes for our members including frameworks and dynamic purchasing systems. Our members include Social Housing Providers, Local Authorities, Universities, School Academies, NHS Trusts and regional Police Forces. EEM wishes to invite applications from suitably qualified training providers to deliver a range of training courses to suit the requirements of our members. EEM are looking to establish a dynamic purchasing system (DPS) to engage a range of providers that are able to deliver a diverse range of training and qualification courses. The organisations that are successful in being awarded a place on the DPS will be given a 'pre-approved' status and will be invited to submit a formal bid when EEM Members have a requirement to contract the external delivery of training courses that fall within one of the categories in which the applicant organisation has expressed an interest. Each application to join the DPS will be reviewed by EEM to ensure the minimum criteria for entry onto the DPS is met. The minimum criteria for entry onto the DPS are detailed in Online Supplier Selection Questionnaire Evaluation. The DPS will be split into the following categories: 1. Leadership & Management 2. Health & Safety 3. Core Skills (assertiveness, minute taking, time management etc.) 4. Customer Service 5. Equality & Diversity 6. IT Skills 7. Specialist Training (gas safe, water regulations, electrical etc.) 8. Plant & Equipment Use The delivery of the training will be for our East Midlands based Members only. Further DPS lists may be set up in the future for our Members that fall outside of the East Midlands area. Successful training providers may be requested to deliver training via a variety of methods including online, at a Members premises or within theirown training facilities. Further information will be made available via documentation released with each mini tender opportunity.
