The core scope of work for this tender primarily revolves around Education and training services. This includes direct training delivery and associated learner services, such as tutor provision, learner supports, programme administration, assessment administration, certification support, employer engagement activities, workplace learning supports, and other operational services essential for successful program delivery. The requirements may also involve the adaptation, contextualization, enhancement, or limited development of programme content, learning materials, assessment instruments, and delivery methodologies, provided these activities are ancillary to and directly support the training delivery requirement.
The Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) established for these services is intended to support the broader Further Education and Training provision of the organization and is not restricted to any single program area, service function, or occupational discipline.
The tender explicitly states that the DPS is not intended for the procurement of standalone consultancy services, strategic advisory services, policy development, organizational development assignments, or research projects where education and training delivery is not the principal purpose of the requirement.
While specific details regarding the nature, quantity, quality, time of delivery, and functional specifications of the services are documented in Schedule B of the Agreement, that schedule itself is not provided in the current documents.
