Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council procured a Champion Development Programme for the external social care workforce. The requirement is a professional development and staff training service, covering health and social work services, with the training delivered across the East Midlands. The programme is intended for people working in social care outside the council’s directly employed workforce. The buying organisation is Nottinghamshire County Council, based at County Hall in West Bridgford, Nottingham. This is a service opportunity for providers able to design and deliver structured workforce development and training for social care staff across the council’s area, rather than a purchase of goods, construction works or general training unrelated to social care.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. Bids were due by 24 June 2026 at 12:00. Nottinghamshire County Council awarded the contract to Juliet Green Consultancy on 13 July 2026. The awarded value is £60,000. The contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 30 July 2027. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement for health, social work and staff training, including external social care workforce development. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized consultancy. This outcome shows that the council used an open competitive route for a defined, one-year development programme.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates demand from Nottinghamshire County Council for externally delivered development of the social care workforce. A credible competitor would need experience in social care training and workforce development, with the ability to work across the East Midlands and support staff outside the council’s direct employment. The requirement is well suited to an SME or voluntary, community or social enterprise, so smaller specialist providers can be relevant where they can demonstrate appropriate training expertise, reliable programme delivery and sufficient capacity for a council-level service. Providers should be able to translate social care knowledge into structured staff development, manage delivery for an external workforce and provide a consistent service throughout the contract period.
