Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council procured education and training services (CPV 80000000) for a course on the safe use of portable power tools. The training is intended to give employees the knowledge and practical skills to work safely, particularly when supporting vulnerable people. The requirement covers delivery across England. It is a service procurement led by Cumberland Council, based in Carlisle. The awarded provider is The corporation of NGC Trading and Carlisle College, an education and training organisation based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that businesses of this scale were considered capable of delivering the requirement. The work concerns employee training rather than the supply or maintenance of power tools.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a restricted procedure. The tender deadline was 19 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to The corporation of NGC Trading and Carlisle College on 3 August 2026 for £30,000. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with the tender allowing an option to extend for a further 12 months. The evaluation basis recorded for this award is the delivery of the specified training requirement. This was Lot 1, titled Safe use of portable power tools. The award is active and the tender status is complete. Cumberland Council is the buyer and the selected supplier is the sole named awardee.

This requirement is relevant to training providers able to design and deliver practical workplace instruction on portable power-tool safety. Credible competitors would need subject knowledge, trainers who can explain safe working clearly, and the ability to address risks arising when employees support vulnerable people. The buyer’s focus is on knowledge and skills that enable safe work, so providers should be able to deliver training that is practical, understandable and suitable for employee development. The award also shows that a small or medium-sized provider can be considered for this type of council requirement. Businesses with an established education or further-education delivery model may be well placed to compete when this specific training need returns to the market.
