ESFA education and skills contracts: 2019 to 2020

Information about ESFA education and skills contracts for 2019 to 2020.

Applies to England

This page contains education and skills contracts for 2019 to 2020. For contracts relating to other years, see the ESFA funding agreements and contracts collection page.

Overview

We have contracted 2019 to 2020 further education funding using a new contract framework.

The purpose of the new framework is to:

  • reduce the number of separate agreements that providers will hold with us
  • ensure that we work consistently together across our agreements
  • update the contracts with the latest commercial best practice

We started to roll the framework out in May 2019. We have replicated the main clauses in our contracts for services (procured adult education budget, procured non-levy apprenticeships and carry-in apprenticeships for independent training providers) so there is consistency across funding for both parties. You can find these on the ESFA funding agreements and contracts 2019 to 2020 page.

The agreements contain a main terms and conditions body and schedules. For further information on the new framework structure, please watch the short videos below.
