Summary of the contracting process

Ards and North Down Borough Council has completed a procurement process titled "Maths for Everyday Life - Debt," within the services sector, focusing on the provision of basic numeracy skills courses for adults over 19 without formal maths qualifications. The contract modification, which affects the existing Community Advice in Ards and North Down contract, was awarded on 21 November 2024. The courses aim to reduce education inequalities and barriers in the UK region of Ards and North Down (UKN09), supported by a funding award of £79,800 from the Department of Economy. The procurement method used was negotiated without the publication of a contract notice, following Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in community services and educational training. Companies like Community Advice Ards and North Down Ltd., already established in providing debt advice, are well-suited to offer supplementary educational programmes focused on numeracy skills, which could further strengthen their service offerings. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in community outreach and educational support, particularly those aiming to enhance adult education, will find this tender particularly advantageous.
