## Summary

The Wigan Council is inviting tenders for the Adult Education Budget (AEB) programme covering the period from August 2017 to July 2018. This initiative, categorized under education and training services, aims to support adult learners by providing flexible and tailored learning opportunities. The total contract value is £742,568, with an open procurement method facilitating this opportunity. The tender period closed on 30 June 2017, and the awarded contract commenced on 1 August 2017, concluding on 31 July 2018, with all activities situated in the North West of England.

This procurement process provides significant opportunities for businesses focused on delivering educational and training services. Companies with expertise in adult education, particularly those that can offer innovative, customised learning solutions, will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Suppliers in the local community with established partnerships in the education sector, especially those adept in engaging diverse learners who may be distanced from traditional educational pathways, may find this tender particularly advantageous for business growth.

## Notice

The AEB aims to engage adults and provide the skills and learning they need to equip them for work, an apprenticeship or other learning. It enables more flexible tailored programmes of learning to be made available, which may not require a qualification. This will help those furthest from learning or the workplace. For learners with a legal entitlement, we think it right that government specify the qualification offer available. Eligible qualifications which can be delivered as part of the Level 2, Level 3 and English and maths provision, will fall under the Legal Entitlement allocation. We continue to expect providers to work with a range of local partners and stakeholders to ensure that the local learning offer meets local needs.
