## Summary

The Buckinghamshire Council has issued a tender for the "Multiply - Adult Numeracy Programme (Years 2 and 3)" project, which falls under the services category in the education and training services industry. The project aims to deliver numeracy education services funded by the Department of Education across Buckinghamshire. The Council is seeking sub-contractors to assist in project delivery, targeting specific residents and geographical areas. The key deadline for this tender is the tender period ending on 9th March 2023.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the education and training services sector to participate in a Light Touch Regime procurement process. Suitable businesses could include those experienced in numeracy education to adults across different course types. The Buckinghamshire Council, as the buying organisation, will evaluate responses to select Approved Providers for contract awards through mini-competition exercises. Businesses with a focus on delivering high-quality services and strong learning experiences are encouraged to participate in this competitive tendering opportunity.

## Notice

Buckinghamshire Adult Learning (BAL) is a service area within Buckinghamshire Council (the Council), which has a contract funded by the Department of Education (DfE) to deliver a three-year Multiply project across Buckinghamshire. Some of this project will be directly delivered by BAL but, in order to fully use Buckinghamshire's Multiply funding allocation and address all the chosen interventions of the Council, it will sub-contract part of this delivery. This enables BAL to deliver to targeted residents and in geographical areas that it would otherwise be unable to reach.

### Lot Information

Bidders are invited to apply for an Approved Providers List, within which a mini-competition exercise will be carried out to award contracts for the delivery of the services. Contracts were awarded to the first ranked bidder for the intervention their bid for. Where the demand cannot be fulfilled by the first ranked bidder, the second ranked bidder would be awarded the remaining demand, and so on.

Admitted bidders are then invited to a Mini-competition exercise. The bidders offering the most economically advantageous tender would be awarded the contract.
