Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

BMet College procured learner-finding services, classified under education and training services (CPV 80000000). The requirement supports Birmingham Metropolitan College, which provides courses for people of all ages across seven campuses in Birmingham. Delivery is associated with the college’s Matthew Boulton Campus on Jennens Road, Birmingham, and the wider requirement allows delivery locations across the United Kingdom and internationally. This is a service opportunity for organisations that identify, attract or otherwise help find learners for further and continuing education. The buyer is BMet College, formerly formed through the amalgamation of Matthew Boulton College and Sutton Coldfield College, and operates across Birmingham for learners of different ages.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender deadline was 3 July 2026 at 1pm, and the award was made on 2 September 2026. The original estimated value was £500,000 including the stated currency of GBP. PEARLTECH UK LIMITED was selected as supplier for an awarded value of £210,769.50. The awarded contract period runs from 16 September 2026 to 6 September 2029. The tender was marked complete at the time of the award. It was advertised as a single requirement rather than divided into lots. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information does not set out separate award weightings or evaluation criteria.

This award provides a clear indication that BMet College buys dedicated learner-finding services for its multi-campus education operation. Suppliers considering future work with this buyer would need a credible service focused on identifying and engaging prospective learners, with the capacity to support courses for people of all ages. Experience in further education, college recruitment or comparable education and training environments would help demonstrate understanding of the requirement. Organisations should also be able to operate across Birmingham and manage delivery that may extend beyond a single campus or local site. The procurement route was an open procedure and the requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that a focused specialist could be relevant, provided it can evidence reliable delivery at the scale required by BMet College.
