The project aims to enhance numeracy skills for residents aged 19 and above, with activities tailored to individuals' needs. The project involves delivering numeracy activities over an 18-month period starting from 1st October 2023 to 31st March 2025. The project will cover various lots focusing on different aspects of numeracy training. This tender by Rhondda Cynon Taf CBC offers business growth opportunities for Providers experienced in delivering numeracy education. Businesses suited for this opportunity should have innovative numeracy programmes or successful track records in numeracy skills training. The project targets adults seeking to improve their maths competency for personal and work-related tasks. The procurement method is an open procedure, and businesses should align their offerings with the specific lots outlined in the tender document. ## Notice Under this Framework, Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council are seeking Providers to deliver bespoke numeracy activities to residents aged 19 or older and who do not currently have a level 2 qualification in numeracy. Funded through the UK Government Shared Prosperity Fund and managed by the Department for Education (DfE), Multiply is targeted at adults aged 19+ with the aim of improving their ability to understand and use maths in their daily life, home, and work (e.g. improving household finances and managing household budgets, improving sector specific numeracy skills). To meet this challenge, successful Providers will need to demonstrate that numeracy activities are innovative or have a proven track record of success, engaging, fit around people's lives, and are tailored to individual needs with delivery taking place in the community or workplace, through sessions delivered in person or online. Activities will also need to demonstrate that they support improvement in skills and/or progression towards accredited learning and improved employment opportunities. The Department of Education (DfE) has suggested ten Interventions of which seven have been selected for Rhondda Cynon Taff, and split into Lots: Lot 1 - W44: Courses designed to increase confidence with numbers for those needing the first steps towards formal numeracy qualifications. Lot 2 - W47: Courses aimed at people who can't apply for certain jobs because of lack of numeracy skills and/or to encourage people to upskill in numeracy order to access a certain job/career. Lot 3 - W48: Additional relevant math's modules embedded into other vocational courses. Lot 4 - W49: Innovative numeracy programmes delivered together with employers - including courses designed to cover specific numeracy skills required in the workplace. Lot 5 - W51: Courses designed to help people use numeracy to manage their money. Lot 6 - W53: Numeracy activities, courses or provision developed in partnership with community organisations and other partners aimed at engaging the hardest to reach. Lot 7 - W46: Courses aimed at prisoners, those recently released from prison or on temporary licence Delivery of this project is expected to start no later than 1st October 2023 and will run until 31st March 2025. Whilst we are inviting tenders to cover this eighteen month period, each financial year (April 2023 to March 2024 and April 2024 to March 2025) will be treated separately as there is no roll over of funding from one year to the next. ### Lot Information W44: Courses designed to increase confidence with numbers for those needing the first steps towards formal numeracy qualifications.
