Summary of the contracting process

The Isle of Wight Council is conducting a public procurement process for the provision of Learning and Development Services through a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), with an industry classification of Education and Training Services. Located in Newport, UKJ34, the Council offers services within this DPS spanning up to ten years, with an annual review mechanism. Following the tender initiation on 29th June 2017, the supply period extends until 28th June 2027. Notably, adjustments have been made to the structure with the removal of Lot 3 from 14th July 2025, affecting the services scope and contract value, which now stands at £3,075,100. The latest updates reflect the 'award' and 'contract update' stage of the procurement, indicating the active engagement with chosen suppliers.

This tender presents expansive opportunities for businesses in the education and training sectors, particularly those experienced in managing apprenticeships and first aid training programmes. The collaborative nature of the Dynamic Purchasing System enables various suppliers, especially those positioned at scale, to engage with an extensive public sector client, promising a consistent and potentially expanding demand, given the identified yearly growth since 2017. Moreover, the removal of specific programmatic requirements, such as Lot 3, suggests a strategic refocusing, providing clearer opportunities for suppliers who align with current service demands. Suitable business candidates are expected to demonstrate expertise and capacity to deliver within the established frameworks and geographical context of the Isle of Wight.

This is because Lot 3 has never been utilised and it is not envisaged that there it will be over the remaining period of the DPS. By removing this lot, suppliers will not unnecessarily complete applications for it. Therefore the Authority is removing this lot for any future applications during the remaining life of the DPS with effect from 14 July 2025 2) To increase the overall estimated contract value of the DPS. The requirement for apprenticeships (Lot 1) have increased year on year since the DPS was originally let in 2017."
