Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process under consideration involves Sheffield City Council, seeking to provide a targeted training programme titled "Railtrack Maintenance". This initiative falls within the education and training services industry category and is aimed at enhancing employability in the rail logistics sector. Located in Sheffield, within the Yorkshire and the Humber region, the tender used a "selective" procurement method through a restricted procedure. The tender was completed by 21st May 2025, with the contract period running from 22nd May 2025 to 23rd May 2025. However, the award was made to Yorkshire Fitness & Leisure, commencing a contract from 2nd June 2025 to 20th March 2026, with an overall contract value of £112,000.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in training and educational services, especially those focusing on vocational training in logistics sectors. It is notably suitable for SMEs and organisations committed to social value, considering its focus on assisting unemployed individuals in Sheffield. Companies with capabilities to deliver practical, work-based experiences in the rail logistics field would be well-placed to compete in similar tenders, fostering partnerships with local government agencies such as Sheffield City Council. Engaging in such contracts can enhance business visibility and establish credibility within the public sector, providing leverage for future procurement opportunities.
