## Description
The College has a recent history of engagement with subcontractors to deliver Adult Education Budget (AEB) outcomes and wishes to continue to issue a flexible contract or contracts of a total funding value up to £750,000 (£600,000 earned value) from contract award to 31 July 2023, with suitable training providers to deliver qualifications and/or programmes eligible for funding under the College's AEB funding contract on its behalf, under the following general rules:
• All the provision must be delivered in the 2022/23 funding year; there is currently no scope to carry forward any funding to 2023/24. All the learning aims and learners must be eligible for Education Skills and Funding Agency (ESFA) Adult Education Budget (AEB) funding in 2022/23.
• Providers wishing to apply for this opportunity must have an active UKPRN and must have a track record of successful sub-contract delivery of qualifications.
• The training must be delivered in full by the contracted training provider, i.e. only one level of sub-contracting is permitted and no second level subcontracting is permitted.
• The Subcontractor, if awarded the contract, will be responsible for the recruitment of all learners, the delivery of training, the premises and resources required to deliver the training, awarding body accreditation and associated fees.
• The quality of provision will be paramount as the College will retain responsibility to ESFA and OFSTED for programme quality.
• The management fee retained by the College will not generally exceed 20% as set out in our subcontracting policy.
