## Summary

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is currently in the tender stage for a new public procurement contract titled "OPENING ADULT LEARNING SERVICE PSEUDO-FRAMEWORK FOR DELIVERY PARTNERS 2023-2028." This tender falls under the education and training services category, focusing specifically on services in Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham. The procurement process is open, inviting suppliers to participate up until the deadline on 27 August 2026, with a planned award start date on the same day. With a maximum contract value amounting to £220,000, the procurement is structured into two lots, each addressing different scales of service delivery. The contracting authority is keen on establishing a framework agreement without renewal options, which will remain active until 31 July 2028. Interested parties must submit bids electronically via the Delta eSourcing portal, completing a Standard Questionnaire as part of the selection criteria.

This tender presents significant opportunities for both small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and large organisations to expand or establish their presence in the educational services sector within the vibrant London boroughs. Smaller organisations or those with minimal previous experience in delivering adult learning (Lot 1) have the opportunity to secure contracts up to £25,000, thereby gaining valuable experience and establishing foundations for future growth. Conversely, experienced providers (Lot 2) who are familiar with delivering broad educational specifications in alignment with GLA or ESFA standards can competitively bid for larger contracts up to £220,000. This open procurement, with its inclusive call for both innovative grassroots community learning providers and seasoned education deliverers, encourages varied participation, fostering business growth and development in delivering vital educational services to local communities.
