## Summary

The procurement process titled "Functional Skills English & Mathematics (online delivery only)" was initiated by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London. This tender falls under the education and training services category and is aimed at providing online functional skills training in English and mathematics to London residents, particularly those facing disadvantages. The procurement method employed was open competition, below the threshold, making it accessible for various suppliers. The award was granted on 31 March 2026 to Runway Training, a Surrey-based SME. The contract is active with a value of £120,000, running from 31 March to 31 July 2026.

Aligning with public sector needs, this type of procurement can aid businesses in expanding their portfolio whilst contributing to community upliftment through education.
