Tender description

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees is seeking to establish a programme for the delivery of tutor-led, non-accredited, community-based numeracy/mathematics courses. The Bitesize model offers funding of up to £10,000, with delivery expected over a two-year period, providing flexibility and sustainability. We expect courses to be a minimum of 15 guided learning hours (GLH), though longer courses are welcome. All pilot activity should have numeracy embedded-either as a core focus or integrated into the wider learning outcomes-to support the development of essential maths skills in real-life contexts.

The anticipated commencement date for the Call-off Contract(s) is 1st September 2025.
