Annex 3: Requirements for knowledge and expertise provision
Where you are providing the necessary training and other knowledge transfer activities, you must provide:
- evidence of your qualifications and accreditations to show that you have the relevant knowledge and expertise of the subjects to be covered
- evidence that you have expertise in delivering training;
- evidence to show how your qualifications and accreditations will be maintained and new ones acquired as necessary
- information, with examples, on how you monitor your continuous development and how you keep records of this.
Where the facilitator (agreement holder) is a partnership or organisation, the requirements apply to everyone giving training.
If you are procuring the training and other knowledge transfer activities from a sub-contractor, you must confirm that:
- where the cost for training will exceed £500, you will invite applications for the sub-contract in an open and transparent way
- where the cost for training will exceed £500, you will select the best value for money tender from a minimum of at least three providers, unless you can provide evidence that fewer than three providers applied for the sub-contract
- for all training, regardless of the cost, you will select a provider who has the relevant expertise to deliver it, demonstrated through qualifications, accreditations or other relevant experience.
Any courses of instruction or training which form part of normal education programmes or systems at secondary or higher levels are not eligible for support.
