Effective partnership working is integral to the way Exemplas delivers high quality services for customers.
As a result, we are interested in developing partnerships with suitable providers wishing to deliver business
support and training activities, anticipated in calls for proposals as part of the forthcoming LEP ESIF
programmes. Through the ESF, we have specific interests in supporting LEPs under Thematic Objective 10
Investing in Education, Skills and Lifelong Learning and will particularly welcome expressions of interest from
providers who have an excellent track record in
 meeting the skills needs of local employers
 delivering support to employed individuals especially young adults (aged 19 or over)
 responding to local skills needs
If you are interested in partnering with us please complete this EoI and send it to Graham Coultas, Funding &
Programmes Director at grahamc@exemplas.com
If you have a policy or process in place that answers the questions, please attach this if preferred and reference the
question rather than answering the question directly.
