## Summary

The Buckinghamshire Council has awarded a contract for the delivery of an Adult Numeracy Programme stage 2. The procurement exercise was carried out in compliance with the Light Touch Regime. The contract value is £40,050 and £99,135 for the two chosen suppliers. The contract period starts on May 30, 2023, and ends on March 31, 2024.

This procurement process presents opportunities for businesses interested in providing adult education services. The contract aims to deliver numeracy education interventions to adults, including helping them manage money, acquire workplace skills, and address various identified learner groups. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are well-suited to compete in this competitive procurement exercise.

## Notice

Buckinghamshire Adult Learning (BAL) is a service area within Buckinghamshire Council (the Council), which has a contract funded by the Department of Education (DfE) to deliver a three-year Multiply project across Buckinghamshire. Some of this project will be directly delivered by BAL but, in order to fully use Buckinghamshire Multiply funding allocation and address all the chosen interventions of the Council, it will sub-contract part of this delivery. This enables BAL to deliver to targeted residents and in geographical areas that it would otherwise be unable to reach. The numeracy education to adults is delivered in five different course types called interventions: a) Increase confidence with numbers, b) Help people use numeracy to manage their money, c) Numeracy skills required in the workplace, d) People who can't apply for certain jobs, e) Hardest to reach learners (groups identified as in need). This is a procurement exercise undertaken in compliance with the Light Touch Regime. Bidders are invited to apply for an Approved Providers List, within which a mini-competition exercise will be carried out to award contracts for the delivery of the services. Contracts were awarded to the first ranked bidder for the intervention their bid for. Where the demand cannot be fulfilled by the first ranked bidder, the second ranked bidder would be awarded the remaining demand, and so on.
