Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council procured tailored family learning services under Lot 2 of the Tailored Learning Open Framework 2025. The requirement is an adult and other education service, delivered in the East Midlands, to support family learning provision through a call-off contract. The council is the buying organisation and the service falls within the wider public services education market. The appointed supplier, Life Education Centre East Midlands, is based in Nottinghamshire. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to organisations able to deliver structured learning services for families and communities in the local area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award call-off under the Tailored Learning Open Framework 2025, Lot 2 Family Learning. The award was made to Life Education Centre East Midlands on 22 July 2026 for £60,451.95 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 12:00. This was a services procurement for a single family learning requirement in the East Midlands. The published outcome records one active award and identifies the selected supplier. The procurement used a direct award rather than an open competition.

This award indicates demand from Nottinghamshire County Council for specialist family learning delivery through its established Tailored Learning framework. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would be organisations with practical experience designing and delivering adult education and family learning programmes, particularly for communities in the East Midlands. Credibility would come from a demonstrable ability to engage both adults and families, provide appropriately structured learning activities, manage delivery reliably across the local area and meet public-sector contract requirements. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises are expressly relevant to this market, so local providers with a strong education delivery record may be well positioned.
