Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes College procured education and training services for up to 20 students at MacIntyre Bedford. The requirement concerns the delivery of education rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works. Milton Keynes College is the buying organisation, and the students are associated with MacIntyre Bedford in Milton Keynes. The awarded service covers delivery across England, including the regions from the North East, North West and Yorkshire and the Humber through to the South West, South East and London. This is therefore relevant to education, training and specialist student-support providers with the organisational reach to work across multiple English regions and with learners connected to a care or support organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It was a below-threshold tender, with the recorded method described as unknown, and comprised one completed lot. The contract was awarded to MACINTYRE CARE on 15 July 2026 for £79,952 gross. The contract period runs from 15 August 2026 to 31 July 2027, with a scheduled signature milestone on 15 August 2026. The award is for services classified as education and training. The published outcome identifies MACINTYRE CARE as the selected supplier. The arrangement is for delivery to a maximum of 20 students at MacIntyre Bedford, with activity covering locations across England. The procurement was evaluated through the below-threshold tender route.

This award is useful market evidence for education and training providers tracking Milton Keynes College’s subcontracted provision. A credible future competitor would need to organise teaching and related learner delivery for up to 20 students, while working with a care or support organisation and meeting the practical needs of students based at MacIntyre Bedford. The geographic scope indicates that providers may need the operational capacity to deliver across England rather than at a single local site. Relevant experience in education and training services, subcontract delivery, learner coordination and partnership working would help demonstrate capability. The requirement also suits established organisations able to manage a small cohort consistently and maintain service delivery across a broad footprint.
