Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for providing Project Management Training to staff at Milton Keynes City Council (MKCC) has been completed. The Council, a sub-central government public authority based in Milton Keynes, sought to enhance the skills of its project managers through the MKApproach methodology. The procurement was conducted via an open competition, with the process falling below the threshold requirements. The contract was awarded on 27 May 2025, with an active status beginning 1 June 2025 and a potential extension option up to 1 June 2028. The main focus was on service delivery within the education and training sector.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses focused on delivering quality education and project management training services. The successful bidder, Elite Training & Consultancy (Scotland) Ltd, a large supplier, highlights the potential for firms with robust resources to address both new and experienced project managers' needs. With a gross contract value of £72,000 and scope for service renewal, small and medium enterprises that excel in management training methods and have the capacity for scalable operations stand to benefit significantly in similar future procurements. Additionally, businesses that meet the criteria for quality and pricing competitiveness would have been well-positioned to compete in the tender.
