Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council has successfully concluded the procurement process for the "Learning for Inclusion" programme, which aims to support learners into employment and further education. The procurement was conducted using an open competition method, below the threshold, under the legal framework of the UKPGA 2023/54. The tender falls within the education and training services industry category and was carried out in the UKC12 region of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage has moved from tender to award, with contracts signed beginning on 1st October 2025, running until 30th September 2026, and potentially extendable by 12 months. The programme's overall value is set at £210,000 distributed across several awarded contracts, each with an initial gross amount of £42,000.

This tender creates significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in education and training services to expand their business, particularly those interested in providing unaccredited courses for young adults. Middlesbrough Council has chosen multiple suppliers, including Actes Trust, Breckon Hill Community Enterprise, Cleveland Fire Authority, Katwalk Kimberleys, and NUR Fitness, indicating opportunities for similar enterprises to engage in future collaborations with sub-central government authorities. The procurement's open nature, along with the council's focus on fostering inclusion through education, marks a lucrative chance for businesses that can support the progression into employment and enhanced educational outcomes.
