What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Government wants everyone to have the opportunity to learn and develop the essential skills that they need to succeed at any age. We know that numeracy is universally important for individuals’ life chances, and for the United Kingdom’s economy as a whole. Multiply aims to see meaningful participation that boosts people’s ability to use maths in their daily life, at home and work – and enables adults to achieve formal qualifications that can open doors for them (such as into a job, progression in work, or progression to further study). This tender is split into 4 areas 1) Engagement 2) Numeracy activities, courses or provision developed in partnership with community organisations and other partners aimed at engaging the hardest to reach learners. 3) Interventions for parents wanting to increase their numeracy skills to help their children and help with their own progression. 4) Innovative numeracy programmes delivered in the community to support learners with their physical and mental health. 5) Progression to functional skills
