Summary of the contracting process

Brighton & Hove City Council procured digital adult skills programmes across Brighton & Hove, as part of skills interventions under the Skills for Life Programme. The requirement falls within education and training services and is focused on delivering digital learning and skills support to adult learners. The work is classified as services and is to be delivered in the South East of England, with Brighton & Hove identified as the delivery area. The council is the buying organisation. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to training providers, digital education specialists and organisations experienced in delivering publicly funded adult skills provision.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 15 July 2026 to Creative Process Digital Ltd. It was run as a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 29 June 2026 at 12:00. The awarded value is £223,272 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2027. The procurement was evaluated as a competitive selection under the dynamic purchasing system, although the available award information does not set out individual scoring criteria or weightings. The award is active and covers the single digital lot for Brighton & Hove’s adult skills requirement.

This award demonstrates established demand from Brighton & Hove City Council for externally delivered digital adult skills programmes linked to the Skills for Life Programme. A credible future competitor would need to design and deliver practical digital learning for adults, manage programme delivery across Brighton & Hove, and demonstrate the operational capability expected of a publicly funded training provider. Relevant experience in adult education, digital skills development, learner support, quality assurance and outcome reporting would strengthen a supplier’s position. Organisations already familiar with dynamic purchasing systems and selective call-offs would be better placed to respond efficiently. The requirement is also suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers may be credible competitors when this type of council requirement returns.
