Summary of the contracting process

Gedling Borough Council is commissioning a skills audit for Greater Carlton on behalf of the Greater Carlton Neighbourhood Board. The work will develop a robust evidence base on employment, skills and workforce needs across Greater Carlton, supporting the Greater Carlton Pride in Place Programme. This is a research and auditing service, covering market and economic research, polling and statistics alongside audit work. The commission is being delivered by the council as the accountable body. Suppliers with experience of assessing local employment and skills conditions, gathering workforce evidence and producing findings that can inform neighbourhood or regeneration activity will find the subject matter relevant. The work will be delivered in Greater Carlton, Nottinghamshire.

The procurement has reached tender: Gedling Borough Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The deadline for questions is 21 September 2026 at 12:00, and bids must be submitted by 6 October 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission is allowed. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 30 April 2027. Its value is £35,000 excluding VAT; bids above this amount will be treated as non-compliant and will not be evaluated. There is one lot, with 100% of the award decision based on quality. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This opportunity suits consultancies, research organisations and community-focused suppliers able to design and deliver a structured skills audit for a defined local area. Relevant capability includes researching employment and workforce conditions, engaging with or analysing evidence about skills needs, and turning findings into a clear, robust evidence base for public-sector decision-making. Experience in labour-market analysis, economic research, auditing, polling, statistics or neighbourhood and regeneration programmes would be useful. The work is also relevant to smaller organisations and voluntary, community or social enterprises, as the procurement identifies it as suitable for both. Because quality carries the full evaluation weighting, suppliers should be able to demonstrate a credible methodology, sound evidence handling and strong written outputs.
