## Summary

Sheffield City Council is seeking providers to deliver Multiply adult maths education and training services. The programme is intended to help adults use maths in everyday life at home and work, and gain formal qualifications that may support entry to employment, progression at work or further study. The requirement is for services, with delivery listed across the United Kingdom. This opportunity will suit organisations able to provide learning that connects practical numeracy with adults’ employment and education goals.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition. The contract period is 9 November 2026 to 12 February 2027. The estimated value is £75,000 excluding VAT (£90,000 including VAT). The deadline for questions was 16 October 2026 at 11:00, and the bid deadline was 21 October 2026 at 16:00. The procurement is arranged as a single lot. The award basis is 100% quality, and the lot’s selection criteria also state 100% quality.

This requirement is suited to providers with the capability to deliver adult maths learning and engage participants in applying numeracy to home and work. Strong candidates will be able to support learners towards formal qualifications and connect learning with routes into jobs, workplace progression or further study. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so providers of that scale are explicitly within scope. The emphasis on quality means suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate the strength and relevance of their educational offer and their ability to deliver meaningful participation and outcomes for adult learners.

## Notice

Multiply aims to see meaningful participation that boosts people's ability to use maths in their daily life, at home and work - and enables adults to achieve formal qualifications that can open doors for them (such as into a job, progression in work, or progression to further study).
