Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire County Council has set up a framework agreement for the Adult Education: Community and Adult Skills Programme for the years 2024 - 2026. This procurement process, classified under the Adult and Other Education Services category (CPV 80400000), involves various lots aimed at different community education needs, including 'First Steps', 'Employability', and 'Adults with Learning Difficulties and/or Disabilities'. The Council's procurement method was an open procedure, and the procurement stage is complete as of 25 November 2024. Contracts were signed on 27 June 2024, with suppliers such as Art Shape, Artspace Cinderford, and NCLP securing places on several lots. The total contract value is approximately GBP 830,000, with individual contracts ranging up to 12 months in length.

This framework offers substantial opportunities for SMEs and specialist training providers to participate in delivering crucial educational services aimed at enhancing employability and community skills. Businesses focusing on adult education, especially those with experience in supporting low-skilled, unemployed, or disabled adults, are particularly well-suited to benefit. By participating, these businesses can significantly expand their service delivery, gain access to public sector funding, and reinforce their reputation in the community education sector.
