Summary of the contracting process

Torbay Council bought Attachment Lead Training for staff and professionals in its Virtual School and managed schools. The service is intended to give delegates the knowledge and practical skills to become Attachment Leads within a school setting, enabling them to lead related policy and practice. This is an education and training service delivered for Torbay Council in the Torquay area. The requirement is focused on professional development for school-based personnel rather than general training provision. Suppliers with experience designing and delivering attachment-focused training for education professionals, virtual schools or managed school networks would find the subject matter most relevant. The work supports the development of internal capability to lead attachment-informed approaches across participating schools.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Anne Henderson. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026, with an award value of £48,000 excluding tax and £57,600 including tax. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with one optional 12-month extension available, allowing a maximum end date of 31 August 2029. Torbay Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. One lot was completed and awarded, and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies education and training services as the contracted category. The award was made without a competitive tender, so no comparative evaluation criteria or weighting are stated.

For a supplier considering future work with Torbay Council, this award demonstrates a defined requirement for attachment-focused training among Virtual School and managed school staff and professionals. A credible competitor would need subject expertise in attachment and the ability to turn that expertise into practical knowledge and skills for delegates becoming Attachment Leads. Experience working in school settings, with education professionals and across multiple schools would be relevant to delivering the required policy and practice leadership outcomes. The requirement also favours providers able to support organisational learning rather than deliver a one-off general training course. Suppliers should be able to structure training for professional delegates and understand how attachment-informed approaches operate within school policy and practice.
