## Summary

The procurement process involves Wokingham Borough Council as the contracting authority, soliciting bids for the "Tender for Adult and Community Learning," within the education services industry. This tender targets organisations capable of providing educational opportunities to adults aged 19 and above and families in the Wokingham Borough over three academic years, from August 1, 2017, to July 31, 2020. The tender was published on April 4, 2017, and was open until April 28, 2017, with a total contract value of £40,000, while the minimum contract value is set at £5,000, following an open procurement method.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for educational service providers, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in adult education and skill development. Companies that offer tailored educational programs aimed at adult learning, health and wellbeing, or support for families are particularly well-suited to compete in this process, potentially expanding their reach and impact within the Wokingham community.

## Notice

We would like to receive applications from organisations who are interested in providing learning opportunities to adults aged 19 Plus and families across Wokingham Borough, for the academic years 2017 to 2020, subject to ESFA (Education and Skills Funding Agency) funding availability. We want to work in partnership with commissioned providers who have expertise and access to identified target groups within the Borough. We want to deliver a curriculum which widens participation and supports adults age 19 Plus and families. We want to encourage these adults to learn a new skill, improve their health and well-being and develop their employment skills and attributes. We also want to nurture their return to formal education and learn how to better support their children's learning and development. Our objective is to create a group of suppliers who are interested and capable of delivering good quality services in this category of educational support.
