We know that numeracy is universally important for individuals' life chances, and for the United Kingdom's economy as a whole. Multiply aims to see meaningful participation that boosts people's ability to use maths in their daily life, at home and work - and enables adults to achieve formal qualifications that can open doors for them (such as into a job, progression in work, or progression to further study). Poor numeracy skills have an impact on people's ability to function in life and work, as well as their ability to perform domestic and work-based tasks with accuracy and confidence, The pandemic has highlighted additional challenges, such as the ability for parents with low skills to support their children with homework. Improved skills should have a positive impact on family lives and on productivity at work. Interventions should not displace, replace and / or duplicate any existing adult numeracy provision, such as activity funded through the existing Adult Education Budget (AEB) statutory entitlement for maths qualifications or funding for any other projects. Funding must not be used for any activities that are not related to the provision of basic numeracy skills; and/or any activities that the provider would otherwise be able to access free of charge. The vision for adult learners in Sheffield accessing Multiply provision is to provide innovative, high quality, engagement/learning activities that will improve the life chances of Sheffield adults and their families to help them to inspire their future generations. The vision for adult learners in Sheffield accessing Multiply provision is to promote numeracy and meaningful participation/engagement towards the world of Maths and its relevance in everyday life. Successful engagement activities will be appealing to learners. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/21484170-69a0-4707-8954-75090eea31d6 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Nov 2023 | | Submission deadline | 4 Dec 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2024 - 13 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SHEFFIELD CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 2HH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80400000 - Adult and other education services ## Release History - 20 Nov 2023 at 17:08 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/21484170-69a0-4707-8954-75090eea31d6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/21484170-69a0-4707-8954-75090eea31d6 20th November 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=75357&B=UK Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/104130 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.sheffield.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
