Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council commissioned adult skills and employment services under Lot 3 of its Adult Skills and Employment Open Framework. The requirement covers specialised and innovative adult skills programmes, including Skills Bootcamps and sector-focused training aligned with local economic and workforce priorities. This is an adult and other education service (CPV 80400000), delivered across Lincolnshire and North and North East Lincolnshire. The procurement is relevant to training providers, further-education colleges, universities, specialist skills organisations and employment-support businesses able to design and deliver sector-focused adult learning. The awarded supplier group includes education institutions, training companies, assessment specialists, recruitment and employment providers, transport and construction training organisations, and technical training and consultancy businesses.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Eighteen active awards were made on 31 July 2026, with contracts running from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded suppliers and gross values are: The Abbey Access Centre £78,000; Bishop Burton Riseholme £138,000; Boston College £81,000; The Construction Skills People £126,000; Lincolnshire Training Hub £54,000; Lincoln College £180,476; Maya Rail Technical Training & Consultancy £107,097; McGovern Assessments £176,700; Medex (Group) £203,411; Momentum Recruitment £235,800; Peter Smythe Transport Training £174,840; Teach Vocation Group £71,096; TEC Partnership £97,200; Tech Educators £59,400; The Skills Blueprint £120,240; Think Employment £114,060; University of Hull £61,195; and University of Lincoln £207,000. The data identifies one completed lot and gives no separate evaluation weighting.

This award demonstrates established demand from Lincolnshire County Council for adult training that is specialised, innovative and connected to local workforce needs. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide structured adult learning programmes, including Skills Bootcamps or other sector-focused provision, and show a clear understanding of employer and economic priorities in Lincolnshire and North and North East Lincolnshire. The awarded provider mix indicates that the council uses both specialist commercial trainers and larger education institutions, as well as assessment, recruitment, employment-support and technical training organisations. Businesses with demonstrable delivery capability in areas such as construction, transport, rail, technology, access training or vocational education may find the requirement particularly relevant, provided they can serve the defined geography and deliver measurable skills outcomes.
