Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council has completed the procurement process for the "Adult Skills Fund 25-26", aimed at providing education and training services. The procurement was classified under the CPV code 80000000 and focused on delivering relevant learning and regulated qualifications in line with the Local Skills Improvement Plan. With an anticipated contract period from 8th May 2026 to 31st July 2026, the services were valued at £144,000. This procurement fell under a limited procurement method as a further competition within the council's Learning & Training Dynamic Purchasing System, consisting of a single stage based entirely on quality assessment. Portull Training Services Ltd was awarded the contract, having its status active as of the sign date, 8th May 2026. The procurement operation was conducted in Hull, within the UKE11 region.

This tender presents advantageous opportunities for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality services without the prior publication requirement of a traditional competitive tender. Companies, similar to the awarded party, that are agile and able to operate within confined procurement frameworks like the Hull City Council's DPS System, would be well-suited to engage in such tenders. The emphasis on quality over price in the evaluation criteria suggests that businesses excelling in service excellence and innovation would be poised to benefit and grow from contracts of this nature.
