Payment obligations depend on the applicable regime and contract. Consult the official documents.
Coverage: 191 active published awards; 175 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
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
