## Description
This procurement process is for an Adult Digital Skills Training Framework which is a multiple lot, multiple supplier framework, with up to five suppliers appointed to each lot. This competition will appoint five Delivery Partners for each lot with tenderers having the ability to apply for one or both lots in this process. There are two lots available and therefore the Combined Authority will look to appoint up to ten Delivery Partners. The framework will be run for 4 years (2+2 break clause) with a maximum value of £30 million (not guaranteed).
