UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council commissioned bespoke leadership development masterclasses for its wider Leadership and Management Development Programme. The work is the design and delivery of training for leadership and management development, rather than a general training course. The awarded provider is to tailor the masterclasses to the Council’s programme. The buyer is Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council, based in West Malling. The requirement was managed as a single lot.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to South East Training Network Limited. The award was made on 24 September 2026; the contract was signed on 27 September 2026. Its value is £16,500 excluding VAT (£19,800 including VAT). The initial contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2027, with an option to extend for one further year, subject to satisfactory performance and continuing business need; the maximum period ends on 27 September 2028. The Council used a below-threshold limited competition. Three bids were received, all from SMEs. The published information describes the requirement as bespoke design and delivery but does not set out further evaluation criteria.

This award shows demand at Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council for tailored leadership and management training delivered as masterclasses within a wider development programme. A future competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to design content around the Council’s programme and deliver it effectively, alongside relevant training expertise and a suitable track record. The limited competition attracted three bids, all from SMEs, indicating that this requirement can be competed for by smaller training providers. The incumbent, South East Training Network Limited, is an SME. Credibility will depend on showing that the provider can offer bespoke rather than off-the-shelf development and meet the Council’s leadership and management needs; the procurement information does not identify specific qualifications or accreditations.
