Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council has awarded a contract under the Professional Qualifications Framework Agreement for the provision of education and training services. This contract focuses on delivering various Modern Apprenticeships and Health and Social Care Qualifications across Edinburgh. The procurement process, completed through an open procedure, was part of a broader framework agreement aimed at creating a robust platform for skill development. The contract awards were made on the 25th and 30th of September, 2025, with active suppliers including several colleges and consultancy firms. This contract, valued at approximately £780,224, confirms the Council's commitment to developing a skilled workforce in the region, covering education and training services primarily in the services category under CPC code 80000000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for training providers with expertise in delivering accredited qualifications. The competitive process underscores the importance of quality and cost-effectiveness, evidenced by the weightage given to quality (30%) and price (70%) in evaluation criteria. Businesses that can offer comprehensive training solutions suitable for Modern Apprenticeships and Health and Social Care sectors will find ample opportunity in this framework. This is especially relevant for organisations capable of delivering high-standard training in strategic locations like Edinburgh, with a potential for expansion through mini-competitions for newly added services or qualifications. This framework sets the stage for long-term engagements, given its framework agreement status and the four-year operational period, enabling businesses to build sustained collaborations within the service domain.
