Summary of the contracting process

Plymouth City Council is currently seeking submissions for the "Plymouth Adult Education" tender, which falls under the education and training services sector. The procurement process is in the tender stage, with applications due by 23rd November 2018. The council's initiative, supported by the Adult Education Budget from the Education and Skills Funding Agency, aims to enhance adult learning opportunities and skill levels in the South West region of England. The tender is being conducted via a selective procurement method, also known as a restricted procedure, allowing only qualified training providers listed on the UK Register of Learning Providers to apply.

This tender presents significant opportunities for training providers, particularly those focusing on adult education and skills development. Businesses that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, given their capacity to deliver tailored learning experiences that align with the council’s mission. Engaging in this contract could lead to meaningful growth by tapping into funding aimed at upskilling adults and contributing to community learning initiatives.
