Summary of the contracting process

Salford City Council has completed a public procurement process to secure a supplier for "Trauma Informed Practice Training". This initiative, linked to the services category, aims to develop trauma-responsive work environments within the Council and partner organisations such as the NHS, GMP, and VCSE sectors. The procurement followed a limited competition method due to its below-threshold nature. DIGNIFI LTD was awarded the contract, which runs from 1st June 2025 to 31st May 2026, with potential renewals for bespoke training sessions. This contract, with a gross value of £48,877.20, is based in the Manchester region, United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in professional training services, particularly those with expertise in trauma-informed practices. Smaller enterprises, like SMEs, are well-positioned to provide tailored solutions that meet specific organisational needs, thereby fostering potential repeat business and partnership expansions. The procurement aligns with the Council's goal to cultivate a supportive workplace environment through strategic training interventions, opening avenues for businesses committed to impacting public sector service delivery.
