UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council is seeking a qualified training provider to deliver periodic Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (Driver CPC) training. The purpose is to maintain compliance with Driver CPC regulations and support the safe and efficient operation of the Council’s vehicle fleet. The appointed provider will organise and arrange the training directly, using its own registered training venue. This is a professional training services requirement, including Driver CPC periodic training, training seminars and technical training. The opportunity is relevant to organisations that provide regulated driver training and can deliver appropriate CPC courses from an established venue. The work is associated with Leeds City Council’s fleet, while the training delivery location will be the successful provider’s registered training venue.

The procurement has reached tender: Leeds City Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries could be submitted until 17 August 2026 at 17:00, and offers were due by 24 August 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed. The single lot covers the contract period from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030, with a gross estimated value of £115,000. The contract is awarded to the tenderer that meets the minimum quality thresholds and submits the lowest price. This is therefore a price-led evaluation subject to passing the stated quality requirements. The requirement concerns Driver CPC training services for the Council’s vehicle fleet and delivery is arranged by the provider at its own registered training venue.

This opportunity suits an established, qualified provider of Driver CPC periodic training, particularly one already able to organise and deliver compliant courses for professional drivers. Suppliers should be capable of interpreting and applying Driver CPC requirements, providing training that supports safe and efficient vehicle operation, and managing course delivery independently. A registered training venue is central to the requirement, so bidders need suitable premises and the operational capacity to host the required sessions. Relevant experience in driver, fleet or technical training would place a supplier well, as would reliable administration of course arrangements and evidence that training meets regulatory expectations. The competition is particularly suited to providers with a ready delivery model, appropriate qualified personnel and the capacity to support a Council fleet over a multi-year service period.
