Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council commissioned family learning services through its Tailored Learning Open Framework. The requirement is a call-off for Lot 2, covering family learning delivered as an adult and other education service. The work supports learning provision for families and is intended for delivery across the East Midlands, including the area served by Nottinghamshire County Council. The council is the public-sector buyer and commissioning organisation. The selected service provider is Life Education East Midlands Limited, an organisation based in Nottingham. This opportunity is therefore relevant to providers of family learning, adult education, community learning and related educational support, particularly those able to operate across Nottinghamshire and neighbouring East Midlands areas. It is a service contract rather than a goods supply or construction project, and forms part of the council’s wider tailored learning provision.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Life Education East Midlands Limited. It was a direct award under the council’s Tailored Learning Open Framework, using a below-threshold procedure without competition and the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its gross value is £60,451.95. One completed lot was used, covering family learning services. The award is active and the contract is active. The contracting route was therefore a framework call-off rather than an open competition for this individual requirement. The available procurement information identifies adult and other education services as the relevant classification. No separate competitive evaluation criteria or bidder eligibility requirements are set out for this direct award.

This award confirms a defined requirement for family learning services within Nottinghamshire County Council’s tailored learning arrangements. A credible future competitor would need practical experience delivering adult and family education, with the ability to design or provide learning that works for families and communities rather than only individual learners. Providers should be able to deliver reliable services across the relevant East Midlands area and understand the operational expectations of a public-sector education contract. The selected organisation is a small and medium-sized enterprise and a voluntary, community or social enterprise, showing that this type of requirement can suit a community-focused specialist as well as a larger education provider. Relevant organisations should monitor this buyer’s framework-based purchasing route and be prepared to demonstrate family-learning capability, delivery capacity and public-sector service reliability.
