Overview

Kent County Council is reopening applications for Round 3 of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to procure education and skills delivery services with an estimated value of £3 million. The framework covers two lots: Lot 1 for Adult Skills Fund programmes and Lot 2 for Study Programmes for 16-19 year-olds who are NEET, with work to be allocated as needed to support vocational training and essential skills courses aligned with local labour market needs. Tenderers meeting the submission deadline of November 2026 will be invited to join the DPS and contract with Kent County Council for call-off delivery of these education services.

Lots (2)

  • Adult Skills Fund

    As Above

    £3,000,000
  • Study Programmes

    As per Clause 3.3 of DPS Admission Agreement, the Authority reserves the right to vary the contract to introduce and establish Lot 2 for 16-19 aged children who are NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) and other vulnerable young people. For the avoidance of doubt, no Tenderer will be admitted to Lot 2 and/or allocated work in relation to Lot 2 until such time that the Authority, in its absolute discretion, elects to establish Lot 2.
