UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge City Council is procuring health, wellbeing and personal resilience training for employees affected by Local Government Reorganisation. The requirement covers the design and delivery of a learning programme, supporting resources and ongoing support. It is intended to help staff manage the emotional and practical effects of organisational change, maintain physical and mental wellbeing, build resilience, work confidently through uncertainty and sustain personal effectiveness. The programme should contribute to a supportive, high-performing workplace culture, enabling employees to continue delivering services to residents during the transition. The work is classified as education and training services, including training services. A possible new partner, South Cambridgeshire District Council, may join the contract, so delivery could extend beyond Cambridge City Council.

The procurement has reached tender: Cambridge City Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Questions could be submitted until 8 September 2026 at 23:59:59, and offers were due by 15 September 2026 at 12:00. The intended contract period is 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2029, with a possible continuation of services extending to 26 September 2030. The published estimated value is £120,000 gross; the lot value is recorded separately as AED 120,000 gross. There is one lot. Offers are evaluated on 70% quality and 30% price. Electronic submission is allowed, and the procurement uses the council’s online tendering portal.

This opportunity suits an experienced training provider able to design and deliver practical workplace learning on health, wellbeing and personal resilience. Relevant suppliers will need to develop learning interventions that give employees usable tools and strategies for maintaining physical and mental wellbeing, managing uncertainty, handling the emotional and practical effects of organisational change, and sustaining effectiveness during transition. The provider should be capable of supplying learning resources and support alongside delivery, rather than a standalone training session. Experience of supporting employees through significant organisational change and of helping organisations build confidence, adaptability and a supportive workplace culture would be directly relevant. The programme must align with the council’s values of being collaborative, courageous, compassionate and accountable.
