Description

The purpose of this competition for Lot 3 "Helping people to manage their money and build confidence with maths" is to invite bids to create and deliver training provision for Essex residents who want to increase their numeracy skills in order to improve their ability to deal with everyday life challenges. These could include, but are not limited to, household budgeting, debt management, shopping and price comparison, food preparation, driving and travelling, DIY and home decorating, etc. The provision could be offered as stand-alone modules or bolted on to existing (vocational) courses or support. Eligible target learners are adults 19+ who have not previously attained a GCSE Grade 4/C or higher maths qualification. We would be interested in opportunities that are developed in partnership with community organisations and other partners and aimed at engaging hardest-to-reach groups, e.g. unemployed or economically inactive people, people on low incomes, care leavers, people who are in or have recently been released from prison. Expected duration of training courses is between 6 to 10 guided learning hours. Only substantive learning will be accepted for this tender and will be recorded in the Individualised Learner Record (ILR). Substantive learning (formal or informal) is learning being delivered in two or more hours. Department for Education (DfE) has confirmed that Multiply training / learning will not be subject to Ofsted inspections in Year 2 (2023-2024). Outreach activities (a.k.a. non-substantive learning) should not be recorded in the ILR. Instead, contact details (name, address, email, phone number & date of birth) should be collected from those engaged to enable follow up and marketing at a later date.
