Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process is managed by the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG), focusing on the "Key Groups Training - Contracts" initiative. This procurement, which has already reached the award stage, pertains to specialist training services aimed at equipping frontline staff in local authorities to handle key groups such as homeless individuals and rough sleepers. The procurement was published on 13 April 2019, and the contract period commenced on 17 June 2019, lasting until 31 March 2020. The tender was processed through an open procedure, allowing multiple submissions for five separate contracts or 'lots', with bids evaluated independently. The tender deadline for submissions was set for 10 May 2019. The services are to be delivered across various locations, including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the training sector, particularly those specialising in social services, training for public sector staff, and support for vulnerable groups. Businesses that are small to medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE) are particularly encouraged to participate, as these organisations are being targeted as suitable providers. Engaging in this procurement allows providers not only to enhance their service offerings but also to build reputational capital by aligning with government initiatives focused on addressing homelessness and providing critical support to vulnerable populations.
