ACL Essex Learning Partnership Fund

As in previous years, ECC has allocated funding to the Essex Learning Partnership Fund (ELPF) to deliver training which support its strategic aims. This funding draws on ECC's Adult Education Budget funding allocation from the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA). There is a maximum of £150,000 available. The maximum funding that organisations may bid for is £50,000. Projects must deliver a minimum of 250 enrolments. ECC is looking to award funding to organisations that can demonstrate the most effective way in which the money will be used and has the greatest impact on learners. Funding will be awarded to the highest scoring bids that meet the minimum requirements as set out below. This competition will be run using ECC's supplier portal, Proactis, which can be accessed using the link: https://www.proactisplaza.com. Bidders will be expected to supply all information requested, including a tender response document to outline the rationale for the project, the proposed project approach and the impact/benefits it will deliver to both employers and learners.
