Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham commissioned a programme to design and deliver tutor-led occupational health, safety and wellbeing training for council employees. Courses include competence-based training where relevant and are intended to support staff wellbeing and safety while helping the council meet its statutory duties. The work is health, safety and first-aid training, including staff training services. Delivery is for the council in Barking and Dagenham, London.

The procurement is complete: the council selected A.I.D Training & Operations Limited and signed the contract on 1 July 2026. The award was made on 2 June 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2031, with a gross value of £357,000 (£297,500 excluding VAT). The original estimated gross value was £325,000. This was a below-threshold open competition for one lot. Evaluation weighted price at 60%, quality at 30% across nine questions, and social value at 10% across two questions. Seven bids were received, with two reaching the final stage. Additional health and safety courses may be added if needs arise during the contract.

For a future requirement from this council, credible suppliers will need to design and deliver a varied programme of tutor-led occupational health, safety and wellbeing courses, including competence-based training where appropriate. Relevant health and first-aid training capability is central, alongside the ability to support an employer’s statutory duties and staff wellbeing. The previous competition attracted seven bids and narrowed to two at the final stage, including two SMEs, indicating that smaller providers can compete. A strong offer would need to balance competitive pricing with demonstrable course quality and social value, as these accounted for 60%, 30% and 10% of the evaluation respectively. Capacity to accommodate additional health and safety courses during delivery would also be relevant.»} 二四六}
