Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council procured construction skills training for its Skills Boot Camp Wave 7 programme. The requirement covers photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage system (ESS) training, with provision for 12 learners. This is a training service rather than construction works: the supplier’s role is to deliver learning in the construction sector, focused on PV and ESS. The procurement identifies England as the delivery area, without naming a more specific location. The requirement sits within the council’s wider skills boot camp programme and is aimed at developing learner capability in this part of the construction industry.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Clint Stamper Training Ltd. The award was made on 15 October 2026, at a value of £20,800. The recorded contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 30 September 2027. Cumberland Council used a restricted procedure. The tender submission deadline was 21 September 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was a single construction training lot for 12 learner places, with an estimated value of £20,800. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to compete; voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. No evaluation criteria or scoring basis are stated in the available procurement information.

For training providers serving the construction sector, this award shows demand from Cumberland Council for focused PV and energy storage system skills training within its Skills Boot Camp programme. A credible future competitor would need to deliver construction-related technical training to a cohort of 12 learners, with the capability to cover both photovoltaic systems and energy storage. The council selected a small business, indicating that provision on this scale can be delivered by an SME. Providers should be able to demonstrate relevant subject expertise and the capacity to deliver a structured learner programme across the contract period. The restricted procedure used for this procurement is also relevant to suppliers assessing the route through which similar council training requirements may be competed.
