Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Milton Keynes College, a public authority in the sub-central government category, concluded with an award for subcontracting services to deliver education to a maximum of 20 students at MacIntyre Bedford. This tender, classified under the education and training services category, was completed on 15th July 2026, with the contract set to run from 15th August 2026 to 31st July 2027. The awarded contract, valued at £79,952, covers multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, and others within the country. The procurement was carried out using a below-threshold method under the legal framework set out in the UKPGA 2023/54.

This subcontracting opportunity offers substantial prospects for businesses in the education and training sector, especially those that can scale services across multiple geographic regions. Organisations like MacIntyre Care, already awarded the contract, exemplify the kind of businesses well-suited for participating in such tenders, particularly those with the capability to deliver specialised educational services on a regional basis. The opportunity aligns well for medium to large-sized suppliers who can adhere to government contracting norms and provide quality educational services within prescribed contract periods.
