This includes Community Learning, Vocational and Employability, Family Learning, ESOL, Maths, English and ICT. These providers will contribute to the delivery of specific community programmes to the 'hardest to reach' community groups in Hackney. The Dynamic Purchasing System model provides flexibility both for the Council and providers as new suppliers can, having met the exclusion and selection criteria, join the DPS throughout its duration. There is no limit to the number of providers included on a DPS, and providers who are unsuccessful when applying to join may reapply at any time. All elements of this tender will be managed online via Hackney's e-procurement portal ProContract under reference DN309118. The DPS will select the most suitable training providers for the identified needs via a process of mini-competition. The mini-competitions will be operated through ProContract.
