Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured adult social care legal training for its county-wide services. The requirement is for one provider to deliver a consistent programme and avoid duplication between courses. Training covers key legal areas under the Care Act 2014, the Mental Health Act 1983 and the Mental Capacity Act 2005. This is a professional education and training services opportunity, classified under CPV 80000000. The contracting authority is Surrey County Council. The awarded service is associated with delivery across England, including Surrey and other English areas, although the stated requirement focuses on adult social care training for Surrey County Council. It is therefore relevant to organisations that design and deliver legal training for adult social care professionals, particularly where consistent content can be delivered across a public-sector workforce.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to EDGE TRAINING AND CONSULTANCY LTD, an SME. It used a below-threshold limited competition. The tender and its single lot are complete, while the awarded contract is active. The contract was signed on 16 June 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £50,095 excluding VAT, or £60,104 including VAT. Surrey County Council selected one provider for the requirement. The procurement was evaluated as a services contract for education and training, with the stated scope centred on adult social care legal training. The award relates to the complete single-lot requirement, rather than separate awards for different training subjects or locations.

This award shows demand from Surrey County Council for a single specialist provider able to deliver adult social care legal training across a public-sector workforce. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need strong knowledge of the Care Act 2014, Mental Health Act 1983 and Mental Capacity Act 2005, together with the ability to turn those laws into practical training for adult social care staff. The requirement favours a provider that can offer a coherent programme rather than disconnected courses, maintain consistent content and avoid duplication. Relevant experience in public-sector or adult social care training, suitably qualified legal trainers, robust course design and the capacity to deliver consistently across the council’s service area would strengthen a supplier’s position. The limited-competition route also indicates the importance of being known to the relevant public-sector buying networks.
