Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees has completed the award stage for the "Count Me In Lot 2 Bitesize" procurement, related to education and training services, specifically focusing on community-based numeracy courses. The selective procurement process was conducted as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system under the Electronic Market Place, Ref: KMCAS-164. The contract, valued at approximately £310,000 over two academic years starting from 1st September 2025 to 31st May 2027, will be delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber, UK. The procurement method offers an opportunity for tutor-led courses with embedded numeracy skills aimed at enhancing real-life mathematical competencies.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in adult education and training, particularly those capable of providing tailored, non-accredited numeracy courses. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), are particularly well-suited to participate, given the flexible funding of up to £10,000 per course under the Bitesize model. The awarded supplier, Yorkshire English School, highlights the potential for regional educational institutions or training providers to competitively engage with local councils for public procurement contracts focused on lifelong learning and community development.

The Bitesize model offers funding of up to PS10,000, with delivery expected over a two-year period, providing flexibility and sustainability.
