## Description
Gloucestershire County Council currently provides a range of courses to assist the people of
Gloucestershire back to work, improve their employment prospects, confidence and health
& wellbeing.
The majority of provision is delivered by the service direct delivery arm, Adult Education in
Gloucestershire (AEiG). Where need is best met through local or specialist services, the
Council seeks to procure delivery from external providers.
This intention of this procurement is to set up a framework from which contracts will be
called off of varying lengths up to a maximum of 12 months, depending on the type of
courses or piece of work, for each qualifying academic year
