Description

The Growth Company (GC) is seeking to identify delivery partners across GM with the capability and capacity to deliver a high-quality service offer to enable GC to rapidly respond to underperformance or gaps in our current contract delivery (where our existing supply chain partners are not able to fulfil the requirement).

We are interested in applications from providers who have previous experience of delivering numeracy skills to those hardest to reach and/or who have no or low qualifications as set out in the specification. The provider must have substantial experience in developing strong and collaborative working relationships with key stakeholders in the area(s) and can help us address the current geographical gaps in our delivery.

Following the award of the Framework, we intend to call off for the following locations: Bolton, Wigan, Tameside.

Funded through UKSPF, Multiply is targeted at adults aged 19+ who do not already have a Level 2 in Maths. The aim of the service and the interventions are to help improve the ability, understanding and use of maths in daily life, home, and work (e.g., improving household finances, helping children with homework, making more sense of the facts in the media, managing household budgets and improving sector specific numeracy skills).
