Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by the City of Doncaster Council, focused on the provision of training services for the construction industry. This process fell under the 'services' category with additional elements related to 'goods', and was organised using a direct procurement method below the competition threshold. With the legal basis under the UKPGA 2023/54, it was conducted as a tender and is currently at the Award stage, having been completed. The contract was signed on 16th May 2025 and spans from 19th May 2025 to 18th May 2026, with a potential extension available for a further 12 months. The supplier, Mecsafe, based in Doncaster, secured the contract, which is valued at £49,500 excluding VAT. The procurement focused on service delivery within the DN1 3BU (South Yorkshire) region in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the training and education sector, particularly those specialising in construction industry training. Given the nature of the procurement as a direct award without competitive bidding, it especially favours small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Mecsafe, which can provide niche, high-quality services tailored to specific local needs. Companies that have the capacity to deliver education and training services, especially those based in the Yorkshire and Humber region, would find participating in similar procurement processes beneficial for fostering business growth and establishing long-term partnerships with public authorities like the City of Doncaster Council.
