Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council procured a call-off contract for relational and restorative practice training. The requirement falls within education and training services and concerns training delivery rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works. The work is associated with delivery in the United Kingdom. The council is based at Cumbria House in Carlisle and is the buying organisation. The title identifies this as Lot 5, Relational and Restorative Practice, indicating a defined part of a wider purchasing arrangement. Businesses providing professional training in restorative and relational practice, particularly those able to deliver services for a public-sector council, are the most directly relevant audience.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 19 June 2026 at 12:00. Cumberland Council awarded the contract to NCB RIP, trading as Research in Practice, on 13 July 2026. The awarded value is £25,000 GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. This is Lot 5, covering relational and restorative practice training. The opportunity was evaluated through the open tender route, with the requirement classified as a services procurement. The award is active, and the recorded supplier is a single organisation.

This award demonstrates a specific council requirement for specialist relational and restorative practice training and shows that an SME supplier can secure the work. Relevant competitors would need credible expertise in designing and delivering training in these practices, together with the ability to provide a structured professional service to Cumberland Council. Organisations with established experience supporting public-sector or social-care professionals may be well placed to compete when a comparable requirement returns. The procurement was also identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers and mission-led organisations should regard this buyer and subject area as potentially relevant. The requirement is focused, rather than a broad general training contract.
