The Service is keen to engage with a wide range of providers who are able to deliver adult and family learning opportunities at a variety of locations in the borough, meeting the broad range of needs and residents across this diverse borough.

Lot 2: Contracts from £25,000 up to a maximum of £220,000 Lot 2 is for larger organisations, or those with experience of delivering adult or family learning to the standards expected by the funding body (GLA or ESFA), and potentially with experience of Ofsted inspection and the standards expected through the Education Inspection Framework. We are looking for delivery of qualification bearing courses, non-accredited formula funded provision and non-accredited courses to meet the curriculum specification as defined across a range of levels from pre-entry to Level 2 (Please referred to the ITT). Additional information: Please referred to the ITT and associated documents available via Delta eSourcing.

About the buyer

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is a London local authority, procuring goods, works and services for the borough's council services. Corporate, housing, construction, property and environmental contracts are advertised through Delta eSourcing. Adult social care, children's services, school works and public health opportunities run through Jaggaer instead. Suppliers must register on the Central Digital Platform to bid, a requirement under the Procurement Act 2023. Healthcare services procurement follows the Provider Selection Regime rather than a standard tender. A published corporate contract register lists live contracts and their expected re-tender dates.

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 Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea's contract awards have been in IT services, construction work and health and social work.
