## Summary

The Luton Council has awarded the contract for the "BT1668 Multiply Funding for Ex Offenders" project to Reactiv8 The Nation. The procurement process, initiated as a tender, focused on adult and other education services. The contract is valued at £42,500 GBP and has a contract period starting on 1st October 2023 and ending on 30th April 2025. The tendering process concluded on 7th September 2023, with the award published on 21st September 2023. The project aims to support ex-offenders in Luton by offering free numeracy courses to improve job outcomes and adult numeracy in the population.

This tender from Luton Council presents an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations in the adult education services sector. Businesses capable of providing numeracy skills training to ex-offenders in Luton are well-suited to compete for this contract. The contract period provides a significant window for service delivery and expansion of adult numeracy programs in the region, creating growth opportunities for businesses focusing on educational services.

## Notice

ALL DOCUMENTATION IS AVAILABLE ON THE PROCONTRACT (PROACTIS) PORTAL - BT1668 DN685761. The Multiply adult numeracy programme is aimed at adults aged 19+ and who do not already have a GCSE at grade C/4 or above, or Functional Skills qualification in maths. Multiply should offer easy access to free numeracy courses and initiatives, and build the confidence of your learner in using numbers at work or in everyday life. In order to support ex-offenders, we are seeking organisations to teach numeracy skills, to Luton residents who are ex-offenders. A successful outcome could be a learner joining a Functional Skills maths course with Luton Adult Learning. Multiply provision is aimed at improving uptake of maths qualification courses, improved job outcomes and increased adult numeracy across the population.
