Tender description
Herefordshire Council is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified provider to deliver an English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) service for eligible adults resettling in Herefordshire. This procurement is being re-issued following the discontinuation of a previous tender exercise which was recently advertised to the market. Previous Tender: Notice identifier: 2026/S 000-045377 Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-069b08 Published 18 May 2026, 2:16pm Due to the need to implement the service within a limited timeframe and ensure continuity of provision, the tender period has been reduced. The Council considers that this timeframe is sufficient for suppliers to prepare and submit a response, taking into account that the opportunity has recently been subject to a previous procurement exercise. Suppliers should review the procurement documents in full before submitting a tender. Keywords: Language course

About the buyer
Herefordshire Council is the local authority for the county of Herefordshire, procuring through its own commissioning framework. Suppliers register free of charge on Supplying the South West, the council's electronic procurement and tendering portal. Contracts below a set value invite at least three local suppliers to tender directly for the work. Larger contracts follow a formal tendering process, governed by the Procurement Act 2023 and its regulations. The largest opportunities are also advertised nationally through the Find a Tender Service. Bidders above the relevant threshold must register separately on the Central Digital Platform to take part.
UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).
Over the past 5 years, most of Herefordshire Council's contract awards have been in construction work, software and information systems and architectural and engineering services.
