Devon County Council (DCC) intends to establish an Open Framework for commissioning the delivery of high-quality skills provision services.
The Framework will support the delivery of programmes funded through the Adult Skills Fund (ASF), Free Courses for Jobs (FCFJ), Skills Bootcamps, and other future skills initiatives aligned with local and national workforce needs. The Framework is divided into
