Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council recently awarded a contract for the delivery of Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training services to ACC Consulting Ltd. The contract was signed on 5th May 2026 and will run until 4th May 2027, with the possibility of a 24-month extension. This falls under the services category, specifically focusing on education and training services, and is valued at £73,500 excluding VAT. The procurement was conducted through an open method, with a "Below threshold - open competition" approach. The process is complete, with the council's offices based in Ipswich, United Kingdom, within the East of England region (UKH14). Key milestones included an initial tender deadline of 26th March 2026.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialised in training services, particularly those experienced in delivering specialist or staff training. SMEs such as ACC Consulting Ltd, which successfully secured the contract, are well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes. The open competition format welcomed a competitive array of bids, with a notable participation from SMEs, ensuring a fair chance for smaller enterprises to expand their market presence by collaborating with sub-central government bodies like the Suffolk County Council.
