Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council has successfully awarded a tender for a Prince 2 Foundation virtual online training course. The procurement process, classified under the software package and information systems category, was conducted using a selective method known as a restricted procedure. This contract award, announced on 26th March 2026, indicates its completion with the award being active from 24th March 2026. The procurement pertains to goods and spans several locations including the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, and Europe, among others. The contract period is notably brief, starting on 26th March and concluding on 27th March 2026.

This tender offers valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in professional training services, particularly those with capabilities in virtual delivery formats. Although the procurement was not specifically aimed at small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), companies in the IT and education sectors looking to expand their service offerings can benefit from such opportunities in the future. While QA Limited has been awarded this contract, the selective procurement method indicates potential for similar business opportunities for organisations that meet the specified criteria in forthcoming tenders.
