Summary of the contracting process

Capital City College commissioned partner providers to deliver part of its full-time study programme for learners. The service covers education and training, including youth, adult, specialist and vocational learning, with industrial and technical training also within scope. Delivery is collaborative: the selected providers deliver the programme as subcontractors, while the college remains the main provider. The procurement covers delivery across the United Kingdom. The college is the buying organisation; AGM Procurement Limited managed the process. This is a single programme-wide requirement rather than separate subject or geographic lots. The work is intended to support learners through a full-time study offer, with providers responsible for defining and engaging their target groups and providing learner support and delivery resources.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure. Four suppliers were selected: Creative Media Skills Group Ltd, Get Set Girls, KBM Training & Recruitment, and Virtual Alliance Ltd trading as Virtual Learning UK. The award was dated 30 June 2026, at £2.4 million gross; the signed contract is valued at £1.64 million gross. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and runs from 27 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Tender submissions closed on 19 May 2026, with award decisions scheduled by 6 July 2026. There was one lot. Evaluation was based entirely on quality, covering target-group definition and engagement, learner support, resourcing, contract management, safeguarding and social value. Seven bids were received, with four reaching the final stage.

This award shows demand from Capital City College for external partners to deliver full-time study programme provision as subcontractors. Credible competitors need the capacity to deliver learner-focused education and training, identify and engage the intended learner groups, and provide effective learner support. They also need sufficient staffing and other resources, reliable contract management, and robust safeguarding arrangements. Social value formed part of the quality assessment, so providers should be able to demonstrate relevant commitments and delivery. The selected group includes education and training organisations of different sizes and a social enterprise, indicating that partnership delivery can suit a range of provider types. The model shares programme income between the college and subcontractors, while the college retains discretion to adjust funding allocations in response to strategy, performance and available funding.
