## About this tender

Somerset Council are keen to robustly understand what ESOL provision is available in Somerset. This could be certificated courses delivered in college settings to talking cafes delivered in the community. This is to make sure that professionals understand what is currently available, individuals are able to make informed decisions about the course that is right for them and lastly that gaps by area or provision can be identified. We are seeking a community partner to map the following:

- The ESOL classes which are provided by a trained professional in Somerset.
- The towns/locations in Somerset where ESOL is being provided.
- Whether provision is within a workplace or held outside of work
- Length of course, time of delivery and start date of course or open access if can be joined at any time
- What level is ESOL being taught at (introduction, community skills, full qualification), identifying the different levels for each class being taught
- Funding provision - if the course is funded or if there is a fee. If there is a fee what this is and any areas of support.
- Talking café provision including locations and frequency
- Identify any barriers to seeking attending such as transport, childcare.
