UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes College commissioned education and training services for up to 35 students at MacIntyre No Limits in Milton Keynes. The requirement is delivered through a subcontracting arrangement and is intended to provide education for students within that specialist setting. The buying organisation is Milton Keynes College, based on Chaffron Way in Milton Keynes. The service falls within education and training services. Delivery is associated with the MacIntyre No Limits Milton Keynes provision, while the award data also identifies delivery coverage across England. This is a service requirement rather than a goods supply or construction project, so relevant businesses are education providers, training organisations and specialist providers able to support learners in a care or supported-learning environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure; the recorded method detail is “below threshold - unknown”. It comprised one completed lot. The award was made to MACINTYRE CARE on 15 July 2026 for £139,916 gross. The contract period runs from 15 August 2026 to 31 July 2027, with signature scheduled for 15 August 2026. The award is active and relates to the full requirement for up to 35 students. The contracting process was evaluated as a services procurement, with education and training services as the classification. The award outcome should therefore be treated as an established supplier appointment, rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Milton Keynes College for externally delivered education serving learners at MacIntyre No Limits in Milton Keynes. A credible future competitor would need to provide structured education and training for a defined cohort of up to 35 students, and to operate effectively through a subcontracting relationship with a college and a care or supported-learning provider. Relevant experience in delivering education within specialist or supported settings would help establish credibility, alongside the staffing, safeguarding, quality assurance and operational capacity needed for a cohort of this size. The award to MacIntyre Care, a large voluntary, community and social enterprise, indicates that organisations with substantial delivery capacity and social-purpose experience can satisfy this buyer’s requirement.
