Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council procured training services through its Skills Boot Camp, specifically the General Construction Level 2 course. The requirement is for construction skills training, with delivery in England. The procurement is a call-off under Lot 4, focused on general construction at Level 2. This is a service requirement rather than a purchase of construction works or materials. The council is the buying organisation, and the selected provider is The Construction Skills People, a small and medium-sized enterprise. The training is intended to develop general construction skills through the Skills Boot Camp programme; the published description does not set out course content, learner numbers or delivery locations within England.

The procurement is complete and awarded to The Construction Skills People under a restricted procedure. The award was made on 14 October 2026 for £157,500. The tender estimated value was also £157,500. The award period runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 August 2027; the tender’s stated contract period runs from 9 October 2026 to 31 August 2027. The submission deadline was 21 September 2026 at 12 noon. This is a call-off for Lot 4, General Construction Level 2. Cumberland Council marked the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award information does not state evaluation criteria or bidder-specific qualification requirements.

This award shows Cumberland Council buying Skills Boot Camp training in general construction at Level 2, with delivery in England, through a restricted call-off. A supplier competing for a comparable requirement would need to deliver construction skills training aligned to Level 2 and support the council’s Skills Boot Camp model. The selected provider is an SME, indicating that a smaller training business can deliver this type of requirement; the published information does not establish a minimum organisational size or particular accreditation. Providers with demonstrable capability in general construction training and the capacity to deliver a council-funded programme would be the closest fit. The award provides evidence of demand for this specific training service, rather than for construction works or materials. Applicants should assess their training offer against the course level and programme focus.
