## Summary

The procurement process for the "Digital Inclusion Project" was undertaken by West Lancashire Borough Council, focused on enhancing digital access for residents and social housing tenants in West Lancashire, England. This initiative falls under the industry category of IT services and was aimed at addressing the risks of digital exclusion. The tender period concluded on 1st March 2021, with the contract awarded on 8th March 2021, valued at £19,960. The contract is set to commence on 1st April 2021 and will last until 31st March 2022.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for organisations with expertise in community engagement and digital literacy training. Businesses specialising in IT services, software development, and educational training are well-suited to compete for future tenders of this nature. The successful bidder, WE ARE DIGITAL TRAINING LTD, demonstrated the necessary qualifications and scale to deliver the project, positioning themselves as a key player in the sector of digital training and support.

## Notice

With more public and private sector services going online there is an ever increasing risk of digital exclusion for residents whom don't have the skills, confidence or accessibility to get online. As a result we are looking to commission an organisation with demonstrated experience of community engagement and knowledge of the risks of digital exclusion to deliver a 12month digital inclusion project at a local level to the residents and social housing tenants of West Lancashire.
