## Summary

The procurement process for the "Adult Skills Training Framework" is being conducted by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, situated in Leeds, United Kingdom. This initiative falls under the industry category of adult education services and is currently in the award stage, having concluded the tendering phase. The framework has been running since 2021, with a total estimated value of £30 million over a maximum period of four years. Businesses have the opportunity to apply for one or multiple lots, with a maximum of nine suppliers chosen, each serving as a Lead Delivery Partner for their designated lot.

This framework presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses working in the education and training sector, particularly those specialising in adult skills development. Companies that are well-suited to compete include training providers, educational institutions, and organisations focused on workforce development. Given the structured nature of this procurement process, businesses that can demonstrate expertise in delivering these services, particularly in the context of funding requirements, will be positioned favourably to secure contracts and expand their operational capacity.

## Notice

This competition will appoint one Lead Delivery Partner for each lot with tenderers having the ability to apply for one or multiple lots in this process. There are nine available lots and therefore the Combined Authority will appoint up to nine Lead Delivery Partners. Once appointed they will be the Lead Delivery Partner for that chosen lot however as this is a framework there is no guarantee of revenue to the chosen supplier.
