In plain English
Powys County Council is setting up an approved-supplier list for delivering social care training courses to its Children's and Adults Social Care teams, funded through the Welsh Government's SCWWDP grant. The list will run for up to 5 years from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, but a place on it is the entry ticket to future work, not guaranteed work, since courses are only commissioned annually depending on funding and workforce needs.
Good fit for: Training providers experienced in delivering social care or workforce development courses.
- Funding is only confirmed annually via Welsh Government grant allocation, so work is not guaranteed year to year
- Only 3 months' notice given before each course is commissioned
- Single lot covering all training courses
