Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Warwickshire County Council has commissioned employability and skills services through its dynamic purchasing system. The work sits across recruitment, education and training services, supporting people to develop skills and improve their employability. Delivery is in the West Midlands. The published award groups together individual call-off contracts made under the system, rather than describing one single service package, so the specific activities and delivery arrangements may vary between call-offs. The procurement is service work and the council is the buyer.

The procurement is complete and the call-offs have been awarded through a selective route: contracts were called off from the dynamic purchasing system. The recorded award date is 23 February 2029, with the contract period running from 24 February to 25 September 2029. The recorded award value is £916,914.50. The award names the suppliers as “Various”, so no individual winning businesses are identified in the published data. The process is presented as a group of individual call-offs; separate lot-level awards, eligibility requirements and evaluation criteria are not described here. The system is intended to admit new suppliers, and the tender information marks the work as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates Warwickshire County Council’s demand for employability and skills provision through a dynamic purchasing system, with call-offs covering recruitment, education and training services in the West Midlands. The call-off route is the commercial model to understand: credible competitors need to be able to qualify for the purchasing system and respond to its individual requirements. Relevant capability includes delivering services that build employability and skills, with the operational capacity to take on distinct commissioned packages. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable participants. The award names a range of suppliers rather than identifying a single provider, indicating that the work was placed through multiple call-offs; suppliers should therefore be prepared to compete for requirements that fit their particular delivery expertise.
