## Summary

The Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council has recently awarded a contract for the provision of adult numeracy project services as part of the Multiply initiative. This contract, titled "BMBC Employment and Skills - Community Provision of Multiply Year 2", falls under the industry category of services. The procurement stage is complete, with a total contract value of £39,730 GBP. The contract period will run from 3rd July 2023 to 13th March 2024, offering opportunities for businesses to provide engagement activities/courses during this period in Yorkshire and the Humber region.

This tender by the Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council is particularly suited for businesses in the education and training services sector who can offer specialist training services. The procurement method used was an open procedure, inviting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to participate. The contract is part of a larger national initiative to improve functional numeracy skills in the adult population. Businesses interested in delivering activities to enhance maths proficiency for residents without a level 2 qualification should consider engaging in this procurement process to contribute to community development and skills improvement in South Yorkshire.

## Notice

Multiply is a national Department for Education (DfE) three-year adult numeracy project which is part of the Government's Levelling Up Initiative. DfE awarded South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) a Multiply allocation to increase the levels of functional numeracy in the adult population up until March 2025. Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council (BMBC) has received funding from SYMCA to administer and develop the Multiply initiative across the Borough for year 2 of the project (April 2023 to March 2024). This involves delivering activities that support residents who do not already hold a level 2 maths qualification to improve their ability, understanding and use of maths in daily, home, and work life. This specification is therefore seeking expressions of interest through the DPS for competition for engagement activity/courses that can take place during the year 2 period, from 1st April 2023 to 13th March 2024.
