Summary of the contracting process

Tees Valley Combined Authority procured Better Business Case training services. The work is for the authority and is classified as specialist training. Delivery is in the Tees Valley area of England. The procurement is focused on training rather than the preparation of business cases themselves.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract signed. Tees Valley Combined Authority used a below-threshold limited competition for a single lot. Knowledge Train Limited was selected on 14 October 2026. The contract was signed on 22 October 2026 and runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £25,000 excluding VAT (£30,000 including VAT). One bid was received, and it reached the final stage. The award was for training services; the published information does not provide further detail on the evaluation criteria.

This award demonstrates demand from Tees Valley Combined Authority for specialist Better Business Case training, delivered through a limited competition. A supplier seeking to compete if this requirement returns would need to offer credible training in business case development, with the expertise and capacity to deliver a focused programme for the authority. Knowledge Train Limited, the selected supplier, is identified as an SME, showing that a smaller provider secured the work. The single bid received indicates that the recorded competition was narrow; it does not establish what qualifications, accreditations or prior experience the authority required. Providers with relevant training capability and a clear offer tailored to Better Business Cases are the closest fit for this buyer’s requirement.
