Community Learning Framework 2020

<p>Nottinghamshire County Council (the Council) receives an annual grant from the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) 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.

Nottinghamshire County Council is seeking organisations who: • are able to provide high quality Community Learning to adults over the age of 19 in Nottinghamshire. This provision should primarily 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; and • are not currently subject to an ESFA notice to improve linked to their financial performance. • Directly deliver services.
