Further details about procurement for the Adult Skills Fund in York and North Yorkshire have been announced.

Last month, York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority published an Adult Skills Fund Commissioning Plan. Three commissioning methods were highlighted, one of which being Contract for Services via a competitive tendering process, and arrangements for this are now available.

Information for providers
Organisations interested in providing Adult Skills Fund provision in our region under Method 3 (Contract for Services via competitive tendering process) will need to be registered with the Crown Commercial Service Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) – Adult Skills and Learning.

Further details about how to register for this DPS can be found at: Dynamic Purchasing System Marketplace – Supplier Registration Service.

This link will take you to the Crown Commercial Service DPS Marketplace which contains a library of all DPS’s managed by the Crown Commercial Service. The Adult Skills and Learning DPS is included in this list.

Organisations are encouraged to register as soon as possible, following the guidance available on the Crown Commercial Service website. In addition, we plan to provide a webinar on the afternoon of 25 November to assist with the process. Further details on the webinar will be shared soon.
