## Summary

Ofcom has awarded a contract for the delivery of media literacy activities in Rhondda Cynon Taf to Cwmpas. This initiative aims to promote media literacy by testing a place-based approach to understand its effectiveness in improving individuals' media literacy skills. The procurement process, which utilised an open procedure, began with the tender period ending on 29 July 2024, with the contract commencing on 13 September 2024 and running until 14 July 2025. The project falls under the industry category of Training Programme Services and has a contract value of £99,900. The initiative will also consider extending the contract for up to two additional years based on performance and outcomes.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in media literacy, particularly those who have experience in Rhondda Cynon Taf and established local networks. Companies specialising in training services, community engagement, and educational programmes are well-suited for this project. Ofcom encourages partnership applications and sub-contracting arrangements, making this an ideal opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs to enhance their portfolios and contribute to local community development. The targeted approach and long-term commitment offer potential for sustained business growth and impact.

## Notice

Ofcom has duties to promote media literacy, delivery media literacy activities and encourage the delivery of media literacy activities. This ITT sets out our requirements to test a place-based approach to understand how effective this might be in improving people's media literacy. Over the past 6 months we have worked to understand what is already happening to support media literacy skills development in Rhondda Cynon Taf (RCT) and the need identified by local residents. Our intention is to commit to this work for a further three years. We have produced a Year 1 delivery plan (Appendix 5 - RCT plan) based on our work so far and tailored to the assets and needs of the community. Through this process we will commission an organisation who can deliver on this plan and produce further plans for Years 2 and 3, based on a delivery and learning cycle. We require organisations to demonstrate their experience of delivering media literacy or relevant activities in Rhondda Cynon Taf and that they have good existing networks with local stakeholders. As a result of the cross-sector focus of this project, we welcome partnership applications and/or sub-contracting arrangements. Any contract(s) awarded following the conclusion of the tender process will be for an initial duration of one year. The contract is expected to extended for two further periods of twelve months each. Any contract extensions are at Ofcom's absolute discretion. The maximum length of the contract is therefore three years. The contract will commence on 23 August 2024.
