Why this procedure was chosen
GMFRS are only one of two potential suppliers that can provide the specifics of the service to LTE Group. A communication in writing was sent to relevant providers to ascertain if they feel they were in a position to participate in a tendering exercise and specifically if they feel that they would be able to provide the services we require in the locations we require to be covered. As part of this exercise we are also contacting them to ascertain if they would wish to take part in a tendering exercise should one be required, GMFRS were the only supplier to confirm their participation. The provision of service is to provide Prince's Trust Level 1 Certificate in Employment, Teamwork and Community Skills The Goal Award in Personal Employment Achievement and Reflection for Learning (PEARL) - Level 1/Entry 3. In the communication, it was outlined that the service must be provided in specific areas across GM and we would need to maintain delivery in these areas in order to continue to meet our strategic aims of widening participation and reaching those currently not in employment, education or training across Greater Manchester. For the avoidance of doubt, the teaching services we require are the provision of courses fully compliant with the rules, regulations and requirements of the King's Trust leading to the King's Trust Level One Certificate Employment, Teamwork and Community Skills ETC) along with the GQAL Award in Personal Employability, Achievement and Reflection for Learning (PEARL) Level 1 / Entry 3
