Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council procured the Champion Development Programme, a services contract to develop the external social care workforce. The requirement combines training services with health and social work services. Delivery covers Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, making this relevant to providers able to operate across these areas or support the wider East Midlands social care workforce. The commissioning organisation is Nottinghamshire County Council, based in Nottingham. The programme is aimed at external organisations and individuals working in social care rather than at supplying physical goods or construction. Businesses with experience designing and delivering workforce development, professional training, or social-care improvement programmes are the most directly relevant. The service category is training and social work support, with a focus on developing capability in the external care workforce.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold open competition. It had one lot. The tender deadline was 24 June 2026 at noon, and the enquiry period ended on 17 June 2026. The lot had an estimated gross value of £60,000. Juliet Green Consultancy was awarded the contract, with an award value of £60,000 gross; the signed contract records a value of £47,000. The award was made on 31 July 2026, the contract was signed on 31 July 2026, and the contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Evaluation placed 70% weight on quality and 30% on price. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award shows that Nottinghamshire County Council purchases focused workforce development for external social care providers, using an open below-threshold competition with quality carrying substantially more weight than price. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a demonstrable ability to design and deliver structured development programmes for social care staff and organisations, alongside an understanding of health and social care practice. Evidence of relevant delivery outcomes, suitably qualified trainers or practitioners, robust programme management, and the capacity to work across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire would strengthen a case. The opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller specialist consultancies and mission-led providers can be well placed where they can show practical social care expertise, dependable delivery and strong quality proposals.
