The brief

Nottinghamshire County Council (the Council) receives an annual grant from the Department for Education (DfE) via East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA) to fund Community and Family Learning for adults aged 19+ in Nottinghamshire.

The Council uses this Grant to ensure that local people have access to a range of flexible learning opportunities that contribute to their personal, social, educational and economic development.

The vast majority of provision is delivered directly to the public via the Council's Contract with Inspire Learning.

In addition to the contract to deliver direct services, the Council has appointed Inspire Learning to act as its agent and coordinate and manage supplementary contractors that deliver specialist provision that they do not deliver themselves.

Nottinghamshire County Council is seeking organisations who: • are able to provide high quality Tailored Learning to adults over the age of 19 in Nottinghamshire.

This provision should principally be courses that Inspire Learning is unable to deliver themselves; • if subject to Ofsted inspections, their most recent inspection was graded Good (grade 2) or better; • are not currently subject to a DfE notice to improve linked to their financial performance. • will not be in receipt of Adult Skills Fund funding for the 2025-26 academic year; and • directly deliver services.

Subcontracting is not allowed.

Providers are invited to tender for contracts for the following Community Learning provision: • General Adult Learning • Family Learning • Discrete provision for learners with learning difficulties and/or disabilities (LLDD)
