UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council is seeking training providers to deliver safeguarding awareness training to schools across Leicestershire. The requirement is for child protection and safeguarding training, and the council intends to add new providers to a standing list of experienced, suitably qualified trainers. The work is county-wide and is aimed at schools rather than the general public. This is a services requirement for organisations able to provide relevant education-focused training. Providers whose training offer addresses safeguarding awareness in school settings are the most directly relevant; the council is seeking more than one suitable provider for its standing list.

The council invited offers through an open competition, with electronic submission allowed. The process reached tender, inviting providers to apply for inclusion on the standing list. The deadline for enquiries was 6 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the bid deadline was 16 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The initial contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with one possible 12-month extension. The stated total value is £24,000 including VAT (£20,000 excluding VAT). The requirement is arranged as one lot and is assessed entirely on quality, weighted at 100%.

This opportunity suits training providers with demonstrable experience and suitable qualifications in safeguarding and child protection training for schools. The standing-list approach is intended to bring additional providers into the council’s pool, so it may suit organisations able to deliver relevant training across schools in the county, rather than providers focused on a single school or a different audience. The lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to smaller specialist providers as well as larger training organisations. Quality is the sole stated basis for assessment, so providers should be prepared to demonstrate the relevance and standard of their training offer. The requirement extends over a multi-year period, with a possible further year, and therefore favours providers able to sustain delivery over time.
