Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council procured training in Transport Manager Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) and operators’ licence awareness. The service is intended to provide instruction in transport management and awareness of operators’ licensing requirements. Delivery is associated with Southampton. The buyer is Southampton City Council; the selected supplier, BY PASS DRIVER TRAINING LTD, is based in Hampshire. This is a training-services requirement, rather than the provision of transport vehicles or transport operations. The procurement description covers both the Transport Manager CPC training and operators’ licence training, so it is relevant to providers able to deliver these two related training areas.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to BY PASS DRIVER TRAINING LTD on 25 October 2024. The awarded value is £150,000. The contract period runs from 1 December 2024 to 1 December 2030. Southampton City Council used a competitive quotation procedure below the applicable threshold, with a limited procurement method. The tender deadline was 24 October 2024 at noon. The requirement was treated as a single service rather than divided into lots. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information does not state a separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

For suppliers preparing to compete for a comparable requirement from Southampton City Council, the award demonstrates demand for both Transport Manager CPC training and operators’ licence awareness training within one service. A credible provider would need to deliver both strands, with the ability to train transport managers towards CPC competence and explain the obligations associated with operators’ licences. The council selected a small business through a competitive quotation route, indicating that smaller specialist training providers can be relevant to this type of requirement. Providers should be able to organise and deliver a multi-year training service for the council’s Southampton requirement. The available procurement information does not identify particular accreditation, staff qualifications, participant volumes or delivery methods, so no specific credential or capacity threshold can be inferred.
