Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Merton is procuring a Digital Champion Train-the-Trainer Programme as part of its wider Digital Recharge initiative. The service covers programme design and delivery, learning resources, assessments, communications support and programme management. Its purpose is to develop digital skills across the council, giving staff the skills and confidence to help colleagues through peer-to-peer learning. The programme will support adoption of new technologies, including the Windows 11 rollout. This is a digital skills and computer-user familiarisation service, classified under CPV 80533000. Delivery is for the council organisation in England, with the buying authority based at Morden Civic Centre. The requirement is for services rather than goods or construction work.

The buyer reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open procedure below the threshold. The tender submission deadline was 19 August 2026 at 23:59. The contract period is from 1 September 2026 to 1 September 2027, ending at 23:59. Its stated value is £33,500. The opportunity is presented as a single requirement rather than separate lots. The published requirement identifies the service scope and delivery purpose, but does not set out a separate award weighting or scoring basis in the available procurement details. It is therefore a straightforward below-threshold competition for delivery of the complete training programme, including its supporting materials, assessments, communications activity and management. The council is the buyer and contracting authority.

This opportunity suits a provider with a complete digital learning and organisational training offer rather than a supplier of standalone courses. Relevant strengths include designing train-the-trainer programmes, delivering practical digital skills training, producing accessible learning resources, assessing learner progress, and supporting communications around organisational change. Experience enabling peer-to-peer support would be directly relevant, as would the ability to help staff adopt new workplace technologies and support a Windows 11 rollout. The contract also calls for programme management, so bidders need the capacity to coordinate delivery, materials, assessments and communications as one service. The published suitability assessment does not identify the requirement as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that it is aimed at providers with established organisational capability and delivery capacity.
