## Summary

## Notice

Blackpool Council is looking to appoint a framework panel which we can use to support the Multiply Initiative. Multiply was announced in the Autumn Spending Review and in the Levelling Up White Paper - being part of a range of initiatives that aim to boost adult skills. The programme is for 19+ adults who do not have a GSCE at Grade 4 (or equivalent) and aims to help people improve their ability to understand and use maths in daily life, home, and work - from household finances, to helping children with homework, to making more sense of the facts in the media and improving employability / job prospects.
