## Summary

Liverpool City Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the Adult Learning 2025-2026 DPS Rounds under the Community Learning Programme. The project falls under the "Adult and other education services" industry category with a CPV classification of 80400000, serving the North West region of the United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £900,000, will run from 1st September 2025 to 31st July 2026, with the tendering process having ended on 20th June 2025. The procurement was carried out using a method classified as "Other." Key participants include Everton Development Trust, Speke Training & Education Centre, Alt Valley Community Trust, Granby Toxteth Development Trust, and eduk8 Partnership Limited, who have each secured specific lots of the tender, which is now in the award stage as of 13th August 2025.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for growth in the adult education services sector, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). The contract's focus on improving adult learning services aligns well with organisations that specialise in educational programmes and community development. Companies working within these niches, especially those with experience in the North West region of the UK, would be well positioned to take advantage of similar future bids from public service contracts. These opportunities not only promote business growth but also contribute to community enrichment and education enhancement, allowing suppliers to play a pivotal role in local development.
