Summary of the contracting process

This tender, classified under the "Community action programme" CPV code 85322000 and targeting services, intended to provide English and other language classes for ethnic minority individuals in comfortable settings within the Fermanagh and Omagh District Council Area, registered as UKN0G. Although this procurement reached the award stage, the outcome was marked as unsuccessful. Initially, the tender had been open for submissions via an electronic procedure with a deadline on the 3rd of April 2025, and projected contract value stood at GBP 83,000.

This tender represented significant opportunity for businesses skilled in educational programme design and delivery, particularly those with experience in community engagement and language services.

Although this process did not conclude with a successful award, companies in the education and community services industries should stay alert for future re-tenderings or similar initiatives, particularly those funded by entities such as the European Union's Peace Plus Programme, ensuring a continual incentive for growth. The open procurement method highlighted that the competition was accessible to a wide range of qualified suppliers capable of providing cost-effective and quality solutions.
