Contract for Multiply

Durham County Council’s DurhamLearn department would like to invite bids from providers to deliver engagement activities and courses within County Durham for Intervention a) as part of the Multiply provision requirements.

This provision needs to be additional and differentiated from that which is already funded through the Adult Education Budget (AEB). Courses should be designed to increase confidence with numbers for those needing the first steps towards formal qualifications. Through a cross-agency/partnership approach, working with referral partners and local employers (priority sectors include construction, manufacturing or adult social care) providers are required to deliver confidence building courses in-work and for those who require courses to help boost their confidence to take the next step towards a qualification.
