Councillor Jon Taylor (Cabinet Member for Education, Skills and Transformation) introduced a report on the Adult Education Contract award.

Following a short debate, Cabinet agreed, having considered the information in the Part II reports, to award a one year contract, commencing on 1st August 2019 with an option to extend the contract for a further two years in annual increments, for the delivery of Adult Education Services in Plymouth to the successful tenderer(s) identified in the Part 2 report. The tender evaluation process has determined that they have the critical knowledge and experience to provide these services and that considering all evaluation criteria they have offered the ‘most economically advantageous tender’.

Cabinet agreed that under Section 100A (4) of the Local Government Act 1972 the public be excluded from the meeting for the remainder of this item of business on the grounds that it involved the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraphs 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Act (as amended).
