Summary of the contracting process

Southend-on-Sea City Council has completed a procurement process for providing Accredited Commissioning training services. This contract was awarded to THE ECM GROUP LIMITED, headquartered in Cheltenham, under the services category with CPV classification 80000000 for Education and training services. The procurement process was initiated as a tender below the threshold, with the contract period spanning from 2nd February 2026 to 31st December 2026. The gross contract amount is £36,000, while the net amount is £30,000. The legal basis for the procurement is under UKPGA 2023/54, and the delivery location primarily covers the UKH3 region in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in educational training and coaching services. Organisations like THE ECM GROUP LIMITED that focus on commissioning training and support could benefit by forging lasting relationships with public authorities. As this procurement is below the threshold, it provides accessibility to smaller businesses that may not typically compete for larger government contracts. Engaging with this sector can enhance an SME's portfolio and expand its expertise in government training service delivery.
