UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Brighton & Hove City Council is commissioning construction skills card training across Brighton and Hove. The service will increase training opportunities for local residents who want to work in construction, supporting people at all stages of their careers to build the skills they need. It is also intended to help the construction industry develop a skilled local labour force. This is a skills and vocational training service rather than construction work itself, so it is relevant to training providers with suitable construction-sector programmes, trainers and delivery arrangements. The service will be delivered in Brighton and Hove, for residents of the city. The procurement is funded through Local Employment for Construction Section 106 developer contributions.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition and open Request for Quotation. Bids may be submitted electronically, with the tender closing at 17:00 on 30 September 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2027. Its estimated value is £40,000 excluding VAT, or £48,000 including VAT. There is one lot covering the complete training requirement. Quotations will be assessed on price and quality, with price weighted at 30% and quality at 70%. The highest-ranked bidder on the combined weighted score is intended to receive the contract. Suppliers must register on the Central Digital Platform and the South East Shared Services Tendering platform to bid.

This opportunity suits established vocational education and training providers that can deliver construction skills card training to residents in Brighton and Hove. Strong candidates will be able to support learners at different career stages, build practical skills relevant to construction employment and contribute to the development of a local construction workforce. The requirement is particularly relevant to providers with construction-sector training expertise, appropriately capable trainers and the capacity to organise and deliver a complete local programme over the contract period. Because quality accounts for most of the evaluation weighting, suppliers should be able to demonstrate a credible, effective approach to delivery as well as competitive pricing. Providers must be prepared to complete the required digital registrations before submitting an offer.
