Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset County Council is seeking qualified suppliers for the "Somerset County Council Workforce Skills" project, which falls under the education and training services industry category. The contract has a total value of £246,950 and the procurement method used was an open procedure. The contract period commenced on 30th November 2021 and will conclude on 30th June 2023. The council successfully applied for £2,078,053 from the European Social Fund to support this initiative, which emphasises the need for quality training and skills development in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The tender was awarded on 29th November 2021, following the completion of the tender period that ended on 6th September 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the education and training sector, especially those offering accredited skills qualifications. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, given the emphasis on local suppliers to deliver tailored educational services. With multiple suppliers already engaged, competition is likely to focus on delivering specific training outputs that meet the needs outlined by Somerset County Council in the grant agreement, making it an ideal avenue for businesses looking to expand their market presence in this sector.
