Newcastle City Council is undertaking an active tender process for the "Mandatory Social Housing Qualification" project, classified under personnel-training and education services. The procurement aims to form a Framework Agreement with Ofqual-regulated qualification providers, aligned with the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023. The procurement process is being conducted via open competition but is below the threshold, making it accessible to a wider range of bidders. The location spans numerous regions in the United Kingdom, and the procurement stage is currently in the tender phase, with submissions due by 18th June 2025 and enquiries closing on 14th June 2025.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in personnel training and staff development, especially those capable of delivering Ofqual-regulated qualifications. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to bid, with a framework allowing for up to three suppliers, thus increasing the chance for diverse businesses to engage and grow within the public sector. The framework's inclusive nature and the potential for extensions positions businesses for future stability and expansion through public sector contracts.
