## Summary

Somerset Council commissioned tailored adult learning through the Adult Skills Fund, using Department for Work and Pensions funding. The requirement covers community learning courses, including computer-user familiarisation and training services (CPV 80533000). It is a service contract for delivery connected with Somerset Council’s adult skills provision. The work is intended for community-based learning rather than the supply of equipment or standalone software. Businesses relevant to this requirement are providers of adult education, community learning, digital inclusion or computer-user training, particularly those able to design and deliver tailored courses for adult learners under public funding arrangements.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded without competition through a below-threshold direct procedure. It covered a single lot. MC Inspired Together CIC was selected as supplier, and the contract was signed on 31 July 2026. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 October 2027. Its value is £40,000 excluding VAT and £50,000 including VAT. The award is recorded as active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so there is no published comparison of competing bids or award scoring. This outcome identifies the selected provider and the scale and duration of the commissioned adult community learning service.

This procurement indicates demand from Somerset Council for tailored adult community learning delivered through DWP-funded skills provision, with a specific emphasis on computer-user familiarisation and training. A credible future competitor would need practical experience designing and delivering accessible learning for adults, managing community-based courses and supporting learners with differing digital confidence. Providers should understand the requirements of publicly funded adult skills programmes and be able to evidence reliable delivery, learner support and appropriate course management. Community interest companies, social enterprises, adult education providers and specialist digital-skills trainers are the closest fit, particularly organisations able to combine community reach with structured computer training and the capacity to deliver a council-funded programme at this scale.
