Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham is procuring vocational training services for its reablement staff. The requirement is to provide training that enables staff to obtain a Care Diploma qualification. The work is for the council’s adult social care workforce and is delivered for the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in London. This is a staff development and professional qualification requirement rather than the supply of care services, recruitment or general education. Businesses specialising in care-sector training, vocational qualifications and workforce development for reablement or related adult social care roles would find the subject matter relevant. The requirement is organised as a single service provision.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. Centra Training Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 26 June 2026 and runs from 26 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its gross value is £38,850. The award covers one lot and concerns vocational training services. The contract is active. This outcome shows that the council used a non-competitive route for a defined, below-threshold training requirement, with a supplier appointed for the stated period. The selected supplier is Centra Training Limited, an SME based in Ferndown, Dorset.

This procurement indicates demand from the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham for structured vocational training leading to a Care Diploma for reablement staff. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in delivering care-sector qualifications and the capacity to train staff working in reablement or closely related adult social care services. Relevant providers are likely to be organisations that can support qualification attainment, understand the practical needs of care workforces and deliver training at the scale of a council staff programme. The existing award also shows that the requirement can be placed through a direct, below-threshold route, so suppliers should understand the council’s purchasing arrangements and be able to respond to a clearly defined training specification.
