Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council has completed its procurement process with a direct award for the delivery of training for Agency Decision Makers (ADMs). The project, classified under specialist training services (CPV Code 80510000), aims to support ADMs in understanding their legal responsibilities and the principles surrounding their roles. The contract was awarded to Coram Academy Limited, a large organisation based in London, with the contract period running from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The geographical scope of the project includes Leeds (postal code LS1 1UR) as well as various international locations such as the British Overseas Territories and the United Kingdom.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in training and legal consultancy, particularly those with expertise in adoption services. Companies experienced in providing support and networking opportunities for niche professional roles would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders. As this was a direct award, SMEs and VCSEs were not specifically targeted, indicating a preference for experienced, larger training providers like Coram Academy Limited who possess the requisite scale and resources to deliver comprehensive, high-level training programmes.

Notice Information

Notice Title

DIRECT AWARD FOR DELIVERY OF TRAINING FOR AGENCY DECISION MAKERS (ADMS)

Notice Description

Adoption England have identified the need to commission training for Agency Decision Makers (ADM's). ADM's make significant and life changing decisions for children. The role can be isolating and historically there has been no training or support available to these individuals. The commissioned training aims to support ADM's (who undertake the ADM function as part of a much wider role) to understand the legal responsibilities of the ADM functions and the principles surrounding it. The training covers legislation and legal case work to embed knowledge and provides an opportunity for networking amongst ADM's with the trainers able to answer questions and unpick challenges presented by attendees
