Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority has awarded a public procurement contract titled "Adult Skills" under the Adult and other education services category, with a total value of £2,000,000. The procurement process was conducted as a Further Competition under the Crown Commercial Service's Low Value Purchase System, focusing on the Yorkshire and the Humber region. The procurement stage is now at the award phase, with the contract period set to commence on 1 August 2025 and end on 31 July 2026. The process employed the selective procurement method, involving a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Notable buyers include the CITY OF YORK COUNCIL, who played a central role in this initiative, aimed at delivering Adult Skills across the region.

The awarded tender fosters substantial business opportunities through the provision of various educational services, particularly in delivering Adult Skills programmes. With a structured division into multiple lots across three workstreams, each lot presents distinct financial opportunities and niche specialisations. This tender is particularly suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of providing tailored learning programmes and regulated qualification delivery in the education sector. The procurement conditions, allowing no single provider to deliver more than one lot per workstream, encourage broad participation among suppliers, thus promoting competitive growth and shared expertise within the region. Successful bidders, including several large-scale organisations such as "Enterprise Made Simple" and "The Skills Network," will deliver significant skill development services aligned with regional educational needs.
