Objectives

The primary objective is to deliver fully accredited training services for the ODETDP course to two delegates. The initiative aims to equip participants with the competencies required to facilitate learning, conduct outcomes-based assessments, moderate evaluations, and design learning programmes. All training must align with NQF Levels 5 and 6 under the ETDP SETA framework, culminating in accredited certification upon successful verification of competence.

Scope

The service provider will deliver classroom-based training covering facilitation, assessment, moderation, and course design. Key responsibilities include:

• Facilitating the compilation and submission of Portfolios of Evidence (PoE).
• Providing structured workbook templates, PoE templates, and assessment guides.
• Evaluating delegate submissions and managing the moderation process to ensure quality, fairness, and consistency.
• Submitting assessment results to the relevant SETA or QCTO.
• Issuing accredited Certificates or Statements of Results once competence is formally verified.

The engagement specifically covers two delegates and requires end-to-end support from initial training through to final certification.

Technical Requirements

Bidders must satisfy several mandatory compliance and qualification criteria:

• Accreditation: Valid accreditation from the ETDP SETA or an equivalent SETA/QCTO body to deliver the specified unit standards and qualifications.
• Personnel Credentials: Assigned facilitators, assessors, and moderators must hold verified qualifications and active SETA registration certificates.
• Experience: Minimum three years’ experience delivering Train-the-Trainer, assessor, moderator, and course design learning programmes.
• References: At least two contactable client references from similar training assignments, not older than thirty-six months.
• Documentation: Completion of the SBD4 declaration, submission of a company profile, and provision of valid BBBEE documentation to claim preference points. Missing mandatory documents result in immediate disqualification.
• Evaluation Model: Bids are scored using an 80/20 weighted system, allocating eighty percent to price competitiveness and twenty percent to specific socio-economic transformation goals.

Skills Requirements

Service providers must demonstrate proven proficiency across four core competency domains:

• Learning Facilitation: Ability to conduct outcomes-based teaching, plan and prepare sessions, manage group dynamics and communication, provide learner support, and evaluate facilitation effectiveness.
• Outcomes-Based Assessment: Competence in planning assessments, conducting evaluations, reviewing evidence, providing constructive feedback, and maintaining accurate assessment records.
• Moderation: Skill in reviewing assessments to ensure quality, fairness, and consistency, alongside managing moderation workflows and documentation.
• Programme Design: Expertise in conducting learning needs analyses, drafting course outlines and curricula, developing learner and facilitator guides, creating visual aids and practical activity templates, and formulating valid formative and summative assessment instruments with appropriate rubrics.

These skills directly map to four target unit standards focused on learning facilitation, outcomes-based assessment, assessment moderation, and learning programme design.

Key Terminology & Concepts

• Portfolio of Evidence (PoE): A standardized collection of work samples, reflections, and proof demonstrating a learner’s mastery of specific unit standards. It requires guided compilation, formal assessment, and independent moderation before certification can be issued.
• ETDP SETA / QCTO: South African regulatory bodies responsible for accrediting training providers, registering assessors and moderators, and overseeing quality assurance for education and occupational qualifications.
• 80/20 Preference Point System: A public procurement scoring methodology where eighty percent of evaluation points are determined by competitive pricing, and twenty percent are allocated based on designated socio-economic goals, including black ownership, women ownership, and disability inclusion.
• SBD4 Declaration: A statutory government form requiring bidders to disclose state employment relationships, conflicts of interest, and adherence to anti-collusion and anti-corruption legislation.
