The programme is delivered as part of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and is managed by the Department for Education (DfE). Multiply in Essex will provide funding to develop new bespoke courses that support key aspects of Multiply delivery that will be rolled out through local skills training providers and into the community, involving local schools, businesses and voluntary and community organisations in the delivery of new pathways into learning. These programmes will lead to attainment of a qualification, but non-qualification provision will also be offered where this is more appropriate to help address the needs of residents of Essex, and in alignment with the national aims for Multiply. The purpose of this tender is to create a supply chain of organisations to deliver adult numeracy education/training programme across the whole of Essex. ECC is looking to award funding to organisations that can demonstrate the most effective way in which the money will be used and has the greatest impact on learners. ## Lots (4) ### Lot 1: Businesses and supporting people into work - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 80000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKH - **Estimated Value:** £2,250,000 - **Description:** The purpose of this competition under Lot 1 “Businesses and supporting people into work” is to invite bids to create and deliver a training provision that will enable people in employment and job seekers to improve their numeracy skills for work.
