Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham Trent University (NTU) initiated a public procurement process titled "CenSCE Student Resilience Workshops," aimed at delivering coaching sessions to enhance student resilience. This procurement falls under the education and training services category, specifically vocational training, within Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom. However, the process was terminated on 24 April 2026 due to strategic revisions at NTU concerning their delivery model for professional services. Initially planned as an open procedure with electronic submissions, the tender was to conclude by 17 February 2026, with the award period set until 17 March 2026. The workshops were intended for NTU students, involving up to 500 participants annually and distributed over 10 sessions. Despite the termination, NTU plans to continue offering workshops in alignment with its Access and Participation Plan.

The procurement process was initially open to SMEs and VCSEs, providing a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in educational coaching services to engage with NTU, a prominent sub-central government authority. With a gross contract value projected at £360,000 over a potential four-year span, businesses in the sector of vocational training services could find considerable growth prospects within such initiatives. Although the tender is now cancelled, the restructuring of NTU's professional services approach may offer new avenues for fresh opportunities once the revised strategy is implemented. Companies offering innovative resilience training solutions could be well-placed to capitalise on future procurement ventures by NTU.
