Summary of the contracting process

Derry City and Strabane District Council (DCSDC) released an open tender for the development, delivery, and management of Micro Programmes within the Kickstart Your Career Programme under their Labour Market Partnership (DSLMP). This procurement falls under the education and training services industry category and is set in the Derry City and Strabane District Council area. The tender includes five lots: SIA Door Supervisor, Event Stewarding, Road Marshalling, CSR Card, and OCN NI Level 2 Certificate in Essential Skills – ICT. Unfortunately, the tendering process concluded unsuccessfully on 3rd April 2025. This open procedure, covered by the GPA, aimed to address the employability, training, and qualification needs of local residents.

This tender presented a significant business growth opportunity for firms experienced in educational and training services. Companies specialising in developing, delivering, and managing similar programmes could have expanded their service portfolios and enhanced local community engagement. With specific lots focusing on diverse training needs, businesses offering security, event management, construction qualifications, and IT skills training were well-suited to participate. Although the procurement process was ultimately unsuccessful, similar future opportunities from DCSDC could offer substantial business prospects for relevant firms.
