Kasbah Conservation Area Management Plan

Posted on by Amy Hallett

Deadline 17th December 2021

Location of contract: Yorkshire and the Humber

Value of contract: £25,000 to £25,001

EQUANS (formerly know as ENGIE Services Ltd) on behalf of North East Lincolnshire Council are seeking an experienced Consultant (or consultancy team) to prepare a Management Plan for the Kasbah Conservation Area (CA).

The Kasbah sits within the operational Port of Grimsby, and the entire area is owned by Associated British Ports (ABP). All leaseholders, however, have full repairing and maintaining leases. At present approximately 70% of the buildings are vacant, a number of which are in very poor condition. A Management Plan is therefore required to assist leaseholders, ABP and NELC in the regeneration of what was the largest fishing port in the world in the early-mid C20th.

New DWP process for buying Provision and Training

Posted on by Amy Hallett

The DWP are making changes to how they buy training/provision both nationally and locally.

Flexible Support Fund Dynamic Purchasing System 2 (FSF DPS 2) – For the Provision of Work Focused Activities in England, Scotland and Wales Overview for Potential Suppliers

What is the DPS?

Flexible Support Fund Dynamic Purchasing System 2 (FSF DPS 2) went live on the 1st November 2021 and is the replacement to the existing Provision of Work Focused Activities DPS (FSF DPS 1) which was established in 2016 and expired on 31 October 2021.

DPS allows operational buyers to examine each business requirement and recommend the best quality offer at the best price for the Service Leader’s consideration/approval. The DPS provides a quick route to market for the procurement of smaller scale, local provision.

The type of provision they may procure through FSF DPS 2 includes single interventions, courses and mentoring support tailored to meet the specific requirements of very diverse claimant groups.

Each requirement will vary, however each Request for Quote (RFQ) will be linked to a category of the “Employability Journey” which outlines the categories on the DPS and the associated performance and funding model requirements.
