Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for "Safeguarding Training" was initiated by Citizen Housing Group Ltd, a sub-central government public authority located in Birmingham, United Kingdom. This process pertains to the provision of safeguarding training services, which encompasses face-to-face and online delivery across various sites in the Midlands, including Solihull, Birmingham, Coventry, Hereford, and Worcester. The procurement, utilising an open method below threshold, transitioned from the tender to the award stage, culminating in a contract signed on 2nd October 2025. The contractual period begins on 16th October 2025, lasting for three years with a possible extension of twelve months, creating a potential total project value of £54,000 over the duration.

The awarded contract to Safeguarding Training & Consultancy Services Ltd opens avenues for growth in the training services sector, particularly for SMEs capable of delivering bespoke tiered training solutions. Companies proficient in adapting training using both face-to-face and virtual platforms can leverage this contract to establish a strong regional presence across the Midlands. The requirement for flexible delivery models ensures that businesses capable of offering comprehensive training packages tailored to diverse organisational needs are well-positioned to succeed. With an initial contract value of £18,000 per annum, there is an opportunity for service provider expansion and increased market recognition through consistent performance and potential contract extensions.
