## Description
Kent County Council (KCC) is providing advance notice of a forthcoming procurement for the delivery of Adult Learning and Skills provision for learners aged 19+ across Kent.
This procurement will replace KCC's existing Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Skills Programme provision (SC240120), which is due to expire in August 2027.
The future procurement is expected to establish a multi-supplier contractual arrangement to deliver a range of skills-based learning interventions aligned to local labour market needs and learner demand. Provision is anticipated to include vocational training, entry-level and progression-based learning, and community-based provision aimed at improving employability outcomes.
KCC is currently developing its procurement strategy and intends to undertake preliminary market engagement to inform the final design of the procurement, including the route to market, lotting structure and contract model.
The estimated timing of the procurement is subject to change in accordance with KCC's governance processes
