Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council procured education and training services for Project Targeted Support under its SESLIP dynamic purchasing system. The appointed consultant is responsible for managing the programme’s run-off, maintaining a prospectus for the programme and acting as a subject matter expert where needed to deliver packages of targeted support. The work is delivered for Kent County Council in Maidstone, Kent. This is a service requirement suited to organisations providing programme management, education and training consultancy, targeted support delivery and specialist subject-matter expertise. The procurement is classified under CPV 80000000, covering education and training services, and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Claire Woodcock Consulting. The award date was 30 July 2026, with an awarded value of £42,500. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. It was a selective call-off from the SESLIP dynamic purchasing system, rather than an open standalone tender. The tender submission deadline was 30 July 2026 at 12 noon. The available information describes the requirement and the selected supplier but does not set out a separate scored evaluation breakdown. The contract covers one service requirement: managing the run-off of Project Targeted Support, maintaining its programme prospectus and providing subject-matter expertise as required for targeted-support packages.

This award demonstrates demand from Kent County Council for a small consultancy able to manage the close-out or run-off of a targeted-support programme while maintaining clear programme information for prospective participants and delivery partners. A credible competitor would need practical programme-management capability, strong written and organisational skills, and the ability to maintain an accurate prospectus throughout delivery. It would also need relevant education and training expertise, enough subject-matter knowledge to advise on individual support packages, and the flexibility to provide specialist input when required. Experience coordinating multiple support activities for a public-sector or education-focused programme would strengthen a future response, alongside the capacity to deliver a focused consultancy assignment independently.
