## Summary

Cumbria County Council is currently managing the "Community Learning & Skills Framework 2018-2023" procurement process, which falls under the education and training services category. The tender was published on 23rd April 2018, with submissions due by 4th May 2018. The contract, valued at £2,500,000, is set to commence on 1st August 2018 and run until 31st July 2023, focusing on providing subcontracted training services across the North West region of the United Kingdom. This open procurement process invites interested training providers to deliver essential skills training in areas not covered by existing community learning centres.

Businesses specialised in education and skills development, particularly those with a focus on community engagement and niche training areas, may find this contract particularly aligned with their services. Participating in this framework can enhance service offerings and establish long-term partnerships within the education sector in Cumbria.
