GMCA have run a competitive process and Acorn
Training’s submission scored highest after evaluation.
2 submissions were received and were sent to a full evaluation
panel. The submissions were checked by GMCA’s Information
Governance Team and were found to be acceptable. The finances of
the bidding companies were also checked, along with the
safeguarding policies submitted.
The Invitation to Tender comprised of 3 parts, covering (75%)
Quality, (15%) Social Value and (10%) Price.
The Successful provider’s scores were deemed acceptable and
comprehensive throughout their submission and offered an
economically advantageous tender. Acorn Training scored
particularly well in a number of areas of the evaluation, including
the mobilisation and implementation, financial value for money, and
performance management and monitoring sections. Their social value
response was also scored as exceeding exceptions.
Following the moderation, Acorn Training were invited to a
clarification meeting to allow the panel to receive some additional
details around their bid. This included gaining a further
understanding of topics such as the provider’s approach to
their delivery model. Following this meeting, the panel were
satisfied that the moderation scores were accurate, and Acorn
Training should be awarded the ESF Skills for Growth Commissioning
– Health and Social Care Skills contract.

MCA have run a competitive process and
NWSA’s submission scored highly after evaluation.
1 submission was received and was sent to a full evaluation panel.
The submission was checked by GMCA’s Information Governance
Team and was found to be acceptable. The finances of the bidding
company were also checked, along with the safeguarding policy
submitted.
The Invitation to Tender comprised of 3 parts, covering (75%)
Quality, (15%) Social Value and (10%) Price.
The Successful provider’s scores were deemed acceptable and
comprehensive throughout their submission and offered an
economically advantageous tender. Despite being the only bid, the
evaluation panel felt that NWSA’s scores were sufficient for
the procurement process to continue without reopening this tender
to the market. The panel were pleased with the bidder’s
delivery model, along with their responses looking at engagement
and stakeholder management, as well as performance management and
monitoring.
In addition, NWSA’s bid included a strong supply chain
including Appretify, The Coders Guild, Growth Company, Back 2 Work,
Manchester Digital, and UK Skills Academy. The panel felt that this
supply chain is well thought through and will be able to deliver
the content of this programme under NWSA as Prime.
Following the moderation, NWSA were invited to a clarification
meeting to allow the panel to receive some additional details
around their bid. This included gaining a further understanding of
topics including the provider’s approach to their delivery
model; supply chain queries; employer involvement. Following this
meeting, the panel were satisfied that the moderation scores were
accurate, and NWSA should be awarded the ESF Skills for Growth
Commissioning – Digital Skills for Growth & Productivity
contract.
