UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Education Training Collective is seeking marketing agency support for the Clean Energy Training and Education Centre (CETEC), its clean-energy education and training initiative. The supplier will help develop and mobilise marketing and communications, establish CETEC’s external profile, raise awareness, engage stakeholders, support learner and employer recruitment, and position the centre as a leading clean-energy training provider. The work covers marketing consultancy and management, rather than the delivery of training itself. It is intended to support CETEC’s move from development into delivery and contribute to regional economic and workforce development priorities. Delivery is in the North East of England.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition under a below-threshold procedure. The tender set an enquiry deadline of 7 October 2026 at 5pm and a submission deadline of 12 October 2026 at 4pm. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. The stated overall estimated value is £30,000 gross. There is one lot. Bids are evaluated on quality (60%), price (20%) and social value (20%).

This opportunity is suited to a marketing consultancy or agency able to help mobilise a new education and training centre and shape its public profile. Relevant strengths include marketing strategy and communications planning, stakeholder engagement, and campaigns that support learner and employer recruitment. Suppliers with experience positioning specialist education, skills or clean-energy organisations may be well placed to demonstrate how they can build awareness and credibility with the centre’s audiences. The requirement also calls for work that supports CETEC’s transition into delivery and aligns with regional skills and economic development priorities. The published evaluation gives quality the greatest weight, alongside price and social value, so bidders should be prepared to show the quality and wider social contribution of their proposed approach.
