## Summary

The Greater London Authority is seeking providers for the "Adult Education Budget (AEB)" procurement process, focused on delivering adult education and training services in London. The indicative value of this procurement is £311 million per year, with the potential total contract value reaching up to £200 million over four years. The tender was published on 26th October 2018, and the tender period concluded on 21st December 2018. The contracts will commence on 1st August 2019 and span until 31st July 2023. This open procurement process aims to award multiple contracts within the education and training services industry, specifically for services aimed at London residents aged 19 and above.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses in the education and training sector, particularly those that provide skill development and vocational training. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) will find this contract particularly suited to their capabilities, as they can compete to deliver a range of educational services aimed at improving qualifications and employment prospects for individuals. Businesses with experience in adult education, vocational training, or community services are encouraged to pursue this opportunity to contribute to workforce development in London.

## Notice

London's indicative Adult Education Budget (AEB) is PS311m per year although the final amount being delegated will only be confirmed by Department for Education (DFE) in early 2019. This contract notice relates to the procurement by the Greater London Authority (GLA) of adult education and training services, expected to result in the award of multiple contracts for services, amounting to an estimated total value of approximately PS130m. However, this value could go up to PS200m over four years, subject to the final AEB allocation to GLA confirmed by DFE. Successful providers will enter into individual contracts to deliver a range of education and training services to both in-work and out of work London residents aged 19 or above, to help them gain qualifications, progress into further education and ultimately access and sustain employment.
