As part of this program, the Tamil Nadu Skill Development Corporation (TNSDC) intends to select a Lead Implementation Partner (LIP) in each of the five sectors listed above. This RFP pertains to the selection of an LIP for the ASDC in the Construction and Infrastructure Sector.
The overall plan, as part of this program is to encourage an LIP to setup an Apex Skill Development Centre (ASDC). The ASDC may also associate with national/ international partners (called Sector Partners – SPs) to setup an interrelated high technology, modular, skilling facility at the ASDC and offer demand driven courses.
The ASDC, to be designed by the LIP, is envisioned to be setup as a state of the art Centre of Excellence (CoE) in which the LIP brings in their best in class equipment/ tools/ machines/ simulators (commonly referred to as equipment) to be used for training purposes. The ASDC will be located in an existing ITI/ Industrial Estate/ any other appropriate space identified by the ASDC (in discussion with TNSDC).
The ASDC will be managed professionally by the LIP. The ASDC will run under the overall operational management of the LIP. The LIP will be responsible for devising and implementing a three year action plan and ensuring that the ASDC is constantly upgraded and provides a high technology ecosystem in the sector for skilling/ up-skilling/ re-skilling/ crossskilling and multi-skilling. The LIP will be expected to generate revenues through the courses
run at the ASDC which can help offset the overall costs of the ASDC. However, cost effective and affordable training should also be provided for the poor and needy sections of the society. It is proposed that the ASDC will evolve over its life into a Centre of Excellence (CoE). Therefore, in its business plan, the LIP will be required to suggest initiatives/ activities that will ensure the transition of the ASDC into a CoE.
The modalities of implementation and the role of the LIP have been detailed in the Terms of Reference (Section 4) of this document.
TNSDC invites proposals from eligible LIPs for selection and appointment as a Lead Implementation Partner. TNSDC will execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the selected LIP.
