## Summary

The procurement process involves Buckinghamshire Council seeking providers for an “Approved Provider List” for Adult Learning services, a category within education services. The tender is currently in the award stage, having been completed on 13th May 2021. The contract period spans three years, ending on 31st July 2024, with a total value of approximately £747,000. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, and the main delivery address is located in the Aylesbury region (UKJ13). Interested parties were required to submit their bids by midday on 29th March 2021.

This tender provides an excellent opportunity for businesses in the education and training sectors, particularly those offering adult learning services and apprenticeship programs. Companies that can deliver training and educational support to various demographics and are capable of fulfilling sub-contractor roles are particularly well-suited to compete in this contracting process. Being part of Buckinghamshire Adult Learning's approved list could significantly enhance a business’s visibility and potential for growth within the education sector.

## Notice

Buckinghamshire Adult Learning (BAL) is a service area within Buckinghamshire County Council (the Council), which has contracts with the Education Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) and the Education Funding Agency (EFA) to deliver training opportunities funded by them. Much of these are directly delivered by BAL but, in order to fully use its Apprenticeship and Adult Education Budget (AEB) allocation and ensure it addresses the key priorities of both the Council and the ESFA, it sub-contracts part of its delivery. This enables it to deliver to target markets and in geographical areas that it would otherwise be unable to reach.

### Lot Information

This is a notice for social and specific services in accordance with Directive 2014/24/EU Article 74'. Buckinghamshire Adult Learning (BAL) is a service area within Buckinghamshire County Council (the Council), which has contracts with the Education Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) and the Education Funding Agency (EFA) to deliver training opportunities funded by them. Much of these are directly delivered by BAL but, in order to fully use its Apprenticeship and Adult Education Budget (AEB) allocation and ensure it addresses the key priorities of both the Council and the ESFA, it sub-contracts part of its delivery.
