The Greater London Authority (GLA) is seeking suitably experienced Suppliers to support the grant competition, application and grant award processes associated with Skills and Employment Unit's programmes as part of a multi-supplier contract under two Workstreams
- Skills and Employment Support and
- Capital Funding.
The contract shall be established initially for two years, with an option to extend for a further two years.
Specifically, the Suppliers should administer the grant application selection process from receipt of grant applications to award of funding, assess, score and moderate grant applications, and prepare appropriate feedback for successful and unsuccessful grant applicants.
Each grant application selection or grant award assignment will require a call off with additional specific details as regards the work including the value of the programme, likely volume of extended grant applications, duration of the scoring.
Prior to starting a specific assignment, the supplier will receive training from GLA staff. The GLA will provide the Supplier appointed for each assignment via the call off arrangement with relevant data subject to a data-sharing agreement. The Skills & Employment team will also support the Supplier until the completion of the deliverables.
We anticipate that we will appoint between three to nine suppliers for each Workstream for the duration of the contract.
Suppliers will be awarded each requirement under a taxi rank approach (e.g., where the suppliers are awarded requirements on a rotation basis) for each Workstream.
Access to the procurement documents is restricted. Further information can be obtained by sending an email to [email protected] with the title "GLA 82114 - Request to Participate".
