ESFA National Careers Service for England

Partnership Opportunities with TCHC

Expression of Interest Form

The National Careers Service (NCS), funded by the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) is a careers service for adults in England. Launched on 1st April 2012, it brings together elements of previous publicly funded careers services for adults and young people.

Currently, the service aims to provide high quality information and impartial, specialist careers

advice and guidance with a view to inform and to stimulate demand for further education, work-based training and higher education. All adults aged 19+ (18+ if NEETs) across England have access to this service via the telephone, online and face-to-face. NCS is delivered nationally but is shaped locally to deliver a tailored response to local needs.

The current contract for the adult service will finish in September 2018. There will be procurement at the end of 2017 for the new contract to start on 1st October 2018 until 30th September 2021.

The Consultancy Home Counties Ltd (TCHC) is a leading training, advice and consultancy provider delivering skills, employability and enterprise services that transform communities and drive economic growth. We are a Merlin accredited prime provider with a track record of working collaboratively with partners to deliver excellence.

Through this EoI - and in anticipation of the forthcoming opportunities to deliver the National Careers Service - TCHC is seeking suitable partner organisations that either deliver NCS currently or who are looking to deliver NCS.
