Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council has completed a procurement process titled "CFM0419 - Mellow Parenting Training Sessions", under the industry category of training services. The contract, classified under CPV code 80500000, was awarded through a direct award to the supplier Mellow Parenting, based on quality and pricing criteria. This procurement was conducted in the UK region UKM72, and the award was finalized on 19th December 2025, with the contract having been signed on 15th July 2025. The procurement employed a limited method without prior publication due to Mellow Parenting being the sole license holder for the training services required, thus eliminating competition for technical reasons.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses that specialize in unique training services and those holding exclusive rights to specific programmes. As this was a specialised contract awarded due to technical exclusivity, businesses with proprietary training content or exclusive licences might find similar opportunities of interest. While this specific contract was awarded to Mellow Parenting, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can offer unique and high-quality services within the public sector in areas underserved by competition may find success in similar future contracts.
