## Summary

Nottinghamshire County Council commissioned tailored adult learning services for service users with learning difficulties and/or disabilities (LLDD). The requirement covers discrete education provision under Lot 3 of the council’s Tailored Learning Open Framework. Services are delivered in Nottinghamshire, supporting learners who need adapted or specialist learning provision. The buyer is Nottinghamshire County Council, a sub-central public authority. This is a service opportunity for organisations providing adult education, vocational or community learning, and support for people with learning difficulties and disabilities. The awarded providers are Creative Paths (EM) CIC, The Harley Foundation and Reach Learning Disability, all small voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. The requirement is specific to LLDD learner provision rather than general education or unrelated training services.

The procurement is complete and was handled as a below-threshold direct award without competition, using the light-touch regime and call-off arrangements from the Tailored Learning Open Framework. One lot was awarded to three suppliers separately. Creative Paths (EM) CIC received a contract worth £44,185.23 gross; The Harley Foundation received £14,400 gross; and Reach Learning Disability received £99,807 gross. All three contracts were signed in July 2026: 24 July for The Harley Foundation and 27 July for Creative Paths and Reach Learning Disability. Each contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The published outcome records the contracts as active and the tender as complete. The evaluation basis was the framework’s prior qualification and direct call-off route, rather than a new competitive tender.

This outcome identifies a recurring council requirement for specialist adult education aimed at learners with learning difficulties and disabilities. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable experience designing and delivering discrete, tailored learning provision for LLDD service users, with the ability to adapt teaching, support and learner engagement to individual needs. The three successful organisations show that small providers and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations can meet the requirement. Relevant capabilities include specialist teaching, supported learning, community-based delivery, safeguarding, learner assessment and outcome monitoring. Suppliers would also need to understand framework call-off procurement and maintain the organisational capacity to deliver across Nottinghamshire. Experience of working with councils or similar public-sector commissioners would strengthen their position when this type of requirement returns.
