The DPS is in 2 stages: • Providers are approved to enter the Framework • Activity submitted by approved providers is approved for delivery Once a provider has been approved, they can submit as many applications for activity as they wish. Applications to become a provider and for activity will be accepted until the 1st October 2021. Evaluation of bids is being undertaken in stages and the next Evaluation window closes on the 1st April 2020. Activity should appeal to multiple clients and focus on training and / or personal development that will help clients to develop their vocational skills, business skills or personal effectiveness. Activity can be delivered on a consultative, group or digital basis and be a rolling programme or bespoke. Activity should aim to support the client to make their business more efficient, sustainable and profitable. Activity may also support the client to improve their health or wellbeing to underpin their ability to drive their business performance. Activity must not be licence to practice Activity should be delivered in Greater Manchester by Greater Manchester based providers. Provision delivered outside of Greater Manchester or by providers based outside of Greater Manchester will only be approved if it is considered a unique or niche unavailable in the Greater Manchester area. It is envisaged that each client will access on average no more than 3 separate instances of activity with the total value and amount of time spent being variable. We therefore require a range of price options. Should a client be interested in accessing more than 3 different types of activity with the same provider and that provider can bundle the total cost into one payment, consideration may be given to approval of more than 3 separate types of activity. Activity should indicatively be delivered over no longer than 16 weeks. Additional information: The Contract ends on the 31st Dec 2021.
