**THIS PIN NOTICE IS TO NOTIFY SUPPLIERS OF AN UPCOMING REQUIREMENT THAT WE ANTICIPATE WILL BE ADVERTISED USING CCS' RM6219 LEARNING AND TRAINING SERVICES DPS. SERVICE TYPE: LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES** We will be holding a virtual supplier event on Thursday 28th April - please see below for details. We have provided high-level detail on service requirements below - please see Attachments for further information (also available on Jaggaer). Multiply is a new programme aimed at improving functional numeracy skills across the United Kingdom. Multiply is aimed at all adults over 19 who do not already have a Level 2 Maths Qualification (or equivalent) - whether in employment or unemployed. They can either be working towards a Maths GCSE or Functional Skills qualification or equivalent, need specific numeracy skills for their work or progression, or just want to brush up on the skills to help them get on in life and work. A critical pillar of the programme is the Multiply national digital numeracy platform which will be launched later in 2022. The platform will act as the national "front door" to Multiply - giving people the ability to learn at their own place and pace. Through the platform, we want to build the confidence of learners, and help them take the stepping stones towards a maths qualification. We also intend to signpost to course in local areas. We'd also like to see employers using the online platform, e.g. through helping them assess their workforce needs, and signposting to local training. This requirement therefore has several components: a digital learning platform, platform content, and an online tuition offer. Across all three, we would like the platform to provide a diagnostic tool to assess skills levels (e.g. identify strengths and weaknesses) to help guide learners through the learner offer; and recognise a learner's progress. The platform is funded from the 2022-2023 financial year, through to the end of the 2024-2025 financial year. The Department is carrying out a Discovery that will continue to inform our assumptions on volumes and service requirements (including number of learners). The platform should meet the Government's Service Standard to ensure it is secure, robust, and accessible. This includes accessibility to WCAG v2 AA standard, and Cyber Essentials Plus. This is in addition to the minimum service requirements associated with RM6219. The platform, content and tutoring must also be provided in Welsh for users in Wales. Finally, we expect the Multiply site to be both Multiply, UK Government and DfE branded.
