UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council is procuring specialist health and safety training services for its employees working in several high-risk areas. The requirement covers staff training and specialist training provision, rather than the supply of equipment or construction works. The council is seeking a training provider that is accredited and experienced in delivering relevant health and safety courses to workers exposed to higher-risk activities. The contracting authority is Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, based at Sandwell Council House in Oldbury. The work is for the council’s employees and is therefore associated with its operations across Sandwell. The procurement is categorised as services, with the classification covering education and training services, training services, specialist training and staff training.

The process reached tender: the council invited quotations through an open, below-threshold competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 21 August 2026 at 17:00, and quotations were due by 28 August 2026 at 15:00. Responses were to be submitted electronically through the council’s In-tend supplier portal. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with a possible extension to 30 September 2029; renewal is described as ideally 12 months subject to budget. The estimated value is £80,000 excluding VAT and £95,999 including VAT. The lot record also states the same figures in AED. Evaluation is based on 60% price and 40% quality.

This opportunity suits an accredited training provider with demonstrable experience delivering specialist health and safety training to employees in high-risk working environments. Suppliers should be able to design or deliver training that is appropriate for several types of higher-risk council operation, understand the practical safety needs of staff, and provide evidence of relevant competence and accreditation. The requirement is likely to favour organisations with established trainers, suitable course content, reliable administration and the capacity to train council employees over a two-year service period, with potential for a further year. Because quality accounts for 40% of the evaluation, providers will need to show more than a low price: their proposed approach, trainer capability, course relevance and delivery arrangements will be commercially important.
