The contract, worth 1 GBP, was awarded on 22nd April 2024 and will run from 23rd April 2024 to 22nd April 2034. The tender process concluded on 8th February 2024, and the buying organisation is encouraging small and voluntary sector enterprises to participate. This procurement opportunity presents a chance for businesses in the education and training services industry to engage with Luton Council. With a focus on creating opportunities for local grassroots organisations and other providers, this contract aims to streamline subcontracting processes to meet funding targets efficiently. Small and large businesses, particularly those with a strong community focus, are well-suited to compete for this tender and contribute to the learning and development initiatives of Luton Adult Learning. ## Notice All documents are available on the ProContract / Proactis / Due North e-tendering portal. Luton Adult Learning uses ESFA grant funding currently Community Learning (from 24/25 "Tailored Learning") to commission/subcontract a small amount of delivery to local grass roots organisations. As additional funding streams are released; for example by Government e.g. Multiply, UKSPF and others we would like to have an Approved Provider List for Trusted Partners in place so that we can streamline subcontracting to local Providers. Funding streams are often confirmed by funding body late, leaving little time for a full procurement process. Using an APL will mean that learning can start sooner and targets are more likely to be met. Meeting targets can result in more funding in the future. 1.1.
