Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council procured driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) training, classified as driving-school services. The requirement is for the provision of training, with delivery associated with Southampton (SO14 7LY). This is a service contract rather than a purchase of vehicles or other goods. The published scope identifies driver CPC training but does not break it down into course formats or participant numbers. The buyer is Southampton City Council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to BY PASS DRIVER TRAINING LTD. The council used a limited competitive quotation process described as below threshold. The estimated and awarded contract value was £125,000. The award was dated 6 December 2024, and the contract period runs from 1 December 2024 to 1 December 2029. Responses were due by 24 October 2024 at 12:00. The process was not divided into lots. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to provide the service. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement details.

This award shows that Southampton City Council buys driver CPC training through a below-threshold competitive quotation process, and that an SME supplier was selected for the requirement. Businesses specialising in professional driver training are the closest fit for a future requirement from this buyer. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that it can provide the driver CPC training service and deliver it in Southampton. The available scope does not establish specific course formats, participant volumes, accreditations or capacity thresholds, so suppliers should not infer those as known requirements. The scale of the award indicates a substantial, multi-year service commitment, making relevant training delivery experience and the ability to sustain provision over a long contract period commercially pertinent.
