Details

ITC seeks to contract training institutions, industry associations, and private companies with a presence in Sierra Leone to deliver digital skills training programmes that will equip youth with technical and vocational skills aligned with labour market demand. The SkYE Fund is a results-based competitive funding mechanism designed to incentivize high-quality training that responds directly to employer needs and market opportunities. Its objective is to support training providers that can demonstrate strong employment outcomes by preparing youth for existing jobs or enabling them to successfully pursue self-employment. Training programmes supported under the SkYE Fund must address identified skills shortages and lead to sustainable employment or the establishment of viable small businesses. Only programmes targeting youth aged 15–35 years and implemented in one or more of the following districts will be considered for funding: Freetown Area (Western Urban), Western Rural, Bo, Bombali, and Tonkolili.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this education & training opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
