Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council commissioned behaviour-management training and support for the school workforce across all 87 primary schools in Coventry. The service is intended to give schools a consistent, evidence-informed, whole-setting approach to behaviour and social, emotional and mental health (SEMH), equipping staff and relevant stakeholders to support children and young people with SEMH needs. The provider is to deliver an integrated training system aimed at sustained improvements in behaviour, staff confidence and outcomes for service users. This is staff training and education support, rather than a supply of goods or building works.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Beacon School Support Ltd. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is £62,536. The competition used an open, below-threshold procedure. Bids were assessed on quality, weighted at 70%, and price, weighted at 30%. The contract covers one requirement for city-wide school workforce training and support. A contract performance measure calls for online meetings with schools each half-term; the reporting frequency was corrected to half-termly. The service period and the signed contract dates are the same.

For training providers, this award indicates demand from Coventry City Council for a coordinated programme that can reach a large primary-school workforce across the city, rather than isolated training sessions. A credible competitor would need to show capability in behaviour management and social, emotional and mental health support, with evidence-informed content that can be applied consistently across whole school settings. The requirement also favours providers able to support staff and relevant stakeholders, sustain implementation beyond initial training, and focus on improved confidence and outcomes for children and young people. Capacity to maintain regular engagement with schools, including online meetings each half-term, would be relevant. The evaluation placed greater weight on quality than price, so demonstrable programme quality and delivery approach are commercially important.
