Organisations and consortia were invited to tender to set up and manage the Community Learning Champions Support programme in July 2010. A budget of up to £3 million was made available to the successful contractor to deliver the commitments outlined in “The Learning Revolution” White Paper. Clear emphasis was placed on the need to provide excellent value for money in order to maximise spending on the support programme and the sharing of resources with local champion schemes.
Funding is available for two years only and comprises £1.7 million for 2009/10 and £1.3 million for 2010/11. All administrative costs are to be met from this budget. The proposal for a development fund was a feature of the successful tender which, along with the contractor’s management and administration costs, is covered by a contract with the Department and as such is subject to commercial confidence.
