## Summary

The Sheffield City Council has initiated a tender for the provision of Adult Learning and Skills Activities in Community Settings. This contract falls under the Education and training services category and is part of the 19+ Adult Education Budget for South Yorkshire residents. The procurement method is an open procedure, with a tender period ending on 31st July 2027 and a contract period starting from 1st August 2027. This opportunity is tailored for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations.

This tender from Sheffield City Council presents a significant business growth opportunity for companies in the education and training sector. Businesses focusing on providing adult learning services in community settings, particularly in South Yorkshire, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The dynamic purchasing system allows for continued delivery of Adult Learning services from August 2023 onwards, creating a stable and long-term opportunity for interested parties.

## Notice

Following the devolution of Central Government Powers to the Combined Authorities, Sheffield City Council's grant for the 19+ Adult Education Budget (AEB) for both formula funded and non-formula funding is provided under an agreement with South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA). The AEB will fund learning for Adults 19+ who live in South Yorkshire, so that they can improve their skills, get back to work or remain and progress in work. The grant will continue to be administered and made available to Sheffield adults by the Council's Lifelong Learning, and Skills Service (LLS), specifically by the Family, Adult and Community Education Service (FACES), via Sheffield City Councils Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). This will be achieved through a new successor DPS that will enable FACES service to continue to deliver Adult Learning in Community settings from August 2023.
