Dear Colleagues,

This email is to let you know that additional funds have been made
available by the Learning and Skills Council for Capital Investment in
Adult Community Learning. The bid form, guidance document and an FAQ
sheet are attached. We also require that you complete an ACL e-learning
positioning statement (eLPS) at the end of the project. This shows
where your organisation is situated with its e-learning. The template
for this is also attached.

** Priority for funding will be given to organisations that were not
awarded funding in the first phase of this programme.**

Bids should be emailed to me in Word format by 26th October with a
signed front page posted to the address below. You will be told on 16th
November if you were successful. The closing date for claims is 14th
March 2008 when you'll need to let me have an updated ACL eLPS using the
template (if you haven't already done this in December).

For those organisations with a first phase bid pending, please let me
have your signed conditions letter as soon as possible.

Hope this is all clear. If you have any questions, please contact me on
0116 204 2850.

Best wishes,

Simon Sheldrake
