What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Supplier shall provide software to support the study of maths, English and digital skills (aka functional skills) which we will then contract out to NHS employers on a case-by-case basis. Based on current projections, we envision that we will establish contracts with around 100 large-scale employers i.e. NHS Trusts, where there will be cohorts of learners varying in size from 20 to 2,000. This number is only an estimate however and the supplier must be able to provide service to substantially more large employers than this figure, if required.
