Fife College have secured funding from the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City deal and through the Housing Construction Infrastructure. HCI and partners were keen for the colleges to deliver a Waste in the Circular Economy 40 hour unit of learning to 100 full time students per year.
 The HCI Skills Gateway is an eight-year, 6 million GBP programme as part of the Edinburgh & South East Scotland City Region Deal based at Edinburgh Napier University. Its ambition is to deliver clear, integrated and inclusive progression routes into construction careers. This encompasses all skill levels, from introducing basic skills in schools across South-East Scotland, through to providing advanced postgraduate training for people under-represented in senior roles in the construction industry. Working in partnership across the public and private sector – uniting FE and HE training providers, construction industry companies and local and national government – the HCI Skills Gateway will help drive high value and inclusive growth to improve housing, lives and wellbeing across the Edinburgh and South-East Scotland region.
 The HCI Skills Gateway is closely aligned with priorities within the Scottish Construction Leadership Forum’s August 2020 draft recovery plan: Skills and Workforce – support employment, fairness of work and those who may become unemployed through what will be a difficult period. A particular focus is needed on the younger workforce. Develop and embed an industry wide approach to school engagement and career promotion, including resources that showcase pathways into and through the industry across all professions. Develop a competency framework that includes a focus on digital skills, meta-skills, management and leadership skills in addition to technical skills and competencies.
 Fife College have also decided to advertise the Waste in the Circular Economy as part of our Skills boost offerings and are also targeting 50 – 100 individuals who have been made redundant or have been furloughed during this current pandemic. This initiative will help boost the region’s economic recovery and should allow the individuals who have enrolled to progress onto further study and/or seek alternative employment in the STEM, renewables, engineering and construction sectors.

The Council has a statutory duty to make pre-school education available for eligible children under the Standards in Scotland’s Schools Act 2000. The Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 and Statutory Guidance set out the increased entitlement of 600 hours, including the provision for eligible children and places a duty on the Council to offer increased flexibility to parents as to where and how
 their child can access their Early Learning and Childcare entitlement. Scottish Government has since made a commitment to extend the entitlement to all eligible children to 1140 hours Early Learning and Childcare by 2020/2021 as set out in ‘A Blueprint for 2020; Expansion of Early Learning and Childcare in Scotland’ (2016).
 The Funding Follows the Child approach places choice in parents’ and carers’ hands allowing them to access their child’s funded entitlement with a range of ELC providers, therefore the Council are seeking to set up a Flexible Framework for the provision of early learning and childcare services under the Light Touch Rules contained within the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. Lot 2 of this Flexible Framework sets out the minimum standards required from the childminders setting.
 All providers who apply and meet the national standards, legislation, the Council's procedural requirements as set out in the Invitation to Tender and accept the rates and contract terms set out by the Council shall be able to deliver funded provision through the Flexible Framework.

 The Contracting Authority does not intend to include a sub-contract clause as part of community benefits (as per Section 25 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014) in this contract for the following reason:
 The framework has been divided into lots to support SMEs to gain access to opportunities through the flexible framework. The nature of the services delivered are unlikely to be delivered through sub-contractors and therefore a sub-contract clause is not suitable for this type of services framework.
 The Contracting Authority does not intend to include any community benefit requirements in this contract for the following reason:
 The Flexible Framework does not provide a guarantee of work, therefore community benefits are not being made mandatory within the
 tender.
 The award of a funded placement is dictated by parental choice therefore no work is guaranteed.
