About

Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) awarded a contract to CAREER CONNECT for the delivery of Multiply, a UKSPF-funded maths and numeracy support programme for adults aged 19 and over, with a priority on supporting offenders and ex-offenders.

The contract, valued at £286,496.28, was awarded via an exemption under light touch regulations due to extremely tight timescales, urgency, and value for money considerations.

The programme was designed to add value to current commissioned services and support residents' progression to further skills provision.
