UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council appointed a provider for operative mandatory training for staff in its Built Environment service. The requirement covers a range of mandatory training courses needed to meet statutory requirements and ensure staff are appropriately qualified. This is a staff training services requirement, classified under CPV 80511000. Delivery is for the Council’s Built Environment staff in Bradford and the wider West Yorkshire area. The procurement is relevant to organisations that deliver statutory or compliance-focused training for operational and built-environment workforces, particularly providers able to offer a range of courses rather than a single training subject.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to GEM Compliance Training Ltd following a below-threshold limited competition. It covered one lot. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with the Council able to extend it by three further one-year periods, to a maximum end date of 30 September 2031. The contract value is £135,000 excluding VAT and £162,000 including VAT. The contract is active and renewal rights apply. The published outcome identifies GEM Compliance Training Ltd as the selected supplier. The procurement was below the applicable threshold.

This award demonstrates established demand from Bradford Council for a multi-course mandatory training service supporting Built Environment operatives and statutory qualification requirements. A credible future competitor would need to provide a broad, dependable programme of compliance and workforce training suitable for operational staff, with trainers and course content capable of meeting relevant statutory requirements. Delivery capability across Bradford and the surrounding West Yorkshire area would be commercially relevant. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist provider rather than only a large national training business. Providers should be able to coordinate multiple mandatory subjects, maintain staff qualification records and deliver consistently over a recurring council contract.
