Telford and Wrekin Council wants to develop a pool of Approved Providers capable of delivering high quality training for our workforce, whilst also demonstrating exceptional value for money to us as the employer. By selecting a mixture of local, regional and national providers, we have ensured that our DPS provides the flexibility required, without compromising on the high quality Learning and Development Council Wide Training on offer.The DPS opens on 31 May 2022 and will run until 30 May 2025 (unless this date is revised). Applications can be received to join the DPS at any time during its lifetime.The DPS is a 2-stage process:Stage 1 – All providers who meet the selection criteria within the online Questionnaire and are not excluded will be admitted to the DPS.Stage 2 – Contracts are awarded during the second stage. A Mini Competition will be held inviting each Approved Provider on the DPS list relating to the particular Lot to bid for work.
