Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council has re-opened its existing "External Training and Workforce Skills Framework" to new entrants, allowing them to participate in the remaining 45 months of the contract period. This framework, which initially began on 1st April 2024 and is expected to last for 4 years, aims to meet the training requirements of East Ayrshire Works and the Workforce and Future Skills team. The framework is split into two lots: External Training and Workforce Skills. The procurement method is an open procedure under the Light Touch Regime, and previous providers need not reapply. Businesses interested should note that new entrants can join once per annum.

This tender creates significant opportunities for training service providers specialising in various areas such as vocational training, technical training, safety training, and personal development training. SMEs, particularly those based in or with the capability to serve the East Ayrshire area (region UKM93), are well-suited to compete. With the procurement stage currently in the award phase, successful entrants will join an existing cadre of providers, allowing for potential business growth and expansion of service offerings. Suppliers who can offer comprehensive and innovative training solutions will find this framework particularly beneficial for expanding their market presence and client base within the public sector.
