## Notice

Buckinghamshire Adult Learning (BAL) is a service area within Buckinghamshire Council (the Council), which has contracts with the Education Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) to deliver training opportunities funded by them. Much of these are directly delivered by BAL but, in order to fully use its 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 BAL to deliver to target markets and in geographical areas that it would otherwise be unable to reach. BAL is opening this procurement process for the 2023/2024 academic year, to reach out to additional delivery partners in specific areas of delivery needed to meet the skills gaps within Buckinghamshire.
