What is being bought
The purpose of this pre-market engagement is to identify providers who have the capacity and experience to deliver a range of 16-19 and further education courses. Providers will be addressing specific skills and teaching and learning capacity gaps within NCS to ensure that all 16-19 and further education learners within the Swindon area can access robust educational provision in their chosen fields.
This is not a competitive procurement, there will be no selection criteria applied nor is engagement in PME a prerequisite for tender. This process is designed to provide an opportunity for NCS to identify and engage with providers in advance of tender to refine requirements to ensure the procurement principles of fairness and transparency are met, and most importantly best outcomes for learners are delivered. Where responses to PME require further discussion NCS will engage with those providers individually and as required. All information provided at PME is indicative only.
Indicative values provided have been based on previous years and should not be relied upon for the 26/27 year. Values will be subject to funding and NCS strategy and confirmed at Tender in May 2026.
