Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council has completed the award phase of its procurement process for the PSW Network under the South East Sector Led Improvement Partnership (SESLIP) Dynamic Purchasing System, with Jenny Boyd appointed for the contract. The purpose of this contract is to manage and support the PSW Network while coordinating with other sector-led initiatives within the south-east region and beyond. This procurement falls under the Education and Training Services category (CPV code 80000000), and the services will be delivered in Maidstone, England, located at postal code ME14 1XQ. The contract, valued at £36,000, commenced on 14 April 2025 and is set to end on 31 March 2027, with an option to extend by 12 months. The procurement method used was selective, via a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system.

The award provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in educational services, especially SMEs in the region, given the suitability criteria favouring them over VCSEs. It positions business entities with skills in network management, regional collaborations, and sector-led improvement as potential competitors in similar future procurements. Such engagements offer growth by enhancing expertise in public sector contracts and establishing connections that could propel business development with local governmental authorities like Kent County Council. For companies already operating in educational and training services, this could provide a pathway to expand within strategic public sector markets.
