## Summary

South Tyneside Borough Council had initiated a tender process for providing English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) services. The process, intended to develop language skills for better community and employment participation, was originally set to be conducted in various regions across the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, and other areas. Unfortunately, the tender was cancelled on 4th June 2025, due to adjustments in the project specifications. Although the process reached a complete status for its lot, the council plans to reissue updated tender documents by the end of June 2025, ensuring businesses still have an opportunity to participate.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities for service providers specialising in education and training services, particularly those experienced in delivering ESOL programmes. Ideal candidates would be small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) adept at tailoring educational content to diverse learners, including asylum seekers and refugees. As the procurement initially included a significant contract period starting in July 2025, with possibilities for a 12-month extension, interested parties should prepare to engage when tenders are re-opened, and propose cost-effective, high-quality solutions that address educational needs and facilitate community integration.

## Notice

The service will help develop sustainable relationships between service users and members of the wider community by increasing access to, and participation in local English-speaking networks, activities and voluntary organisations, thus fostering a sense of belonging. Deliver ESOL provision to 20 individual learners from across South Tyneside resettlement programmes that include Asylum seekers, refugees, ARAP and Homes for Ukraine and to be delivered in the South Tyneside area.
