Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council has awarded a contract for the "Provision of Positive Behaviour Model Training" to Crisis Prevention Institute, Inc. This service, classified under the training services industry (CPV 80500000), is aimed at enhancing staff training across the Council's children's residential homes located in Hampshire. The procurement process was initiated as an open competition below the threshold level and involved a light-touch regime. The contract award was completed on 23 June 2026 with a value of £157,325 gross, and the contract period extends from 6 August 2026 to 5 August 2028, with the possibility of a one-year extension. The training will be delivered to approximately 230 staff members, ensuring both existing and new employees receive necessary training and refresher courses according to need.

This opportunity presents significant growth potential for training providers specialising in positive behaviour support within children's services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in trauma-informed care and a deep understanding of the legal frameworks governing children's residential and secure homes in the UK are well-suited for such contracts. The training will aim to ensure safe, proportionate physical interventions and compliance with standards like the Restraint Reduction Network. Prospective bidders would benefit from demonstrating their capacity to integrate safeguarding requirements and the ability to customise training to diverse operational needs across multiple locations in Hampshire.
