UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Exeter City Council commissioned staff training for its Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) change programme. The requirement is a professional training service intended to support the programme’s change work; the published scope identifies staff training but gives no further detail on course content, participant numbers or delivery format. Exeter City Council is the buying organisation. The contract’s delivery location is recorded as the United Kingdom, without a more specific delivery place. This is a single service requirement, rather than a purchase of goods or construction work. The selected provider is Trueman Change Management Ltd, based in Burnley. The training is tied specifically to Exeter’s LGR change programme, so suppliers whose expertise is in organisational change and workforce training are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Trueman Change Management Ltd. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026 and runs from 24 July 2026 to 31 March 2028. Its stated value is £54,750 excluding VAT and £65,700 including VAT. The procurement was described as below threshold; the recorded method detail does not identify a specific procedure. The process comprised one lot, covering the staff training service. The award is active and the contract is active. No award date or evaluation criteria are recorded, so the published outcome establishes the selected supplier and contract terms but does not explain how bids were assessed.

For suppliers considering comparable future work from Exeter City Council, this award shows demand for staff training linked to a local government reorganisation and change programme. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to design and deliver relevant training for staff working through organisational change, and to connect learning to the needs of a live change programme. Experience supporting public-sector restructuring or local government reorganisation would be directly relevant. The selected provider is an SME, showing that this requirement was delivered by a specialist-sized supplier rather than necessarily requiring a large national training provider. The contract covers a sustained programme rather than a single training event, so suppliers should be able to support delivery over an extended period and work with the council’s change programme. The award gives a practical indication of the buyer, requirement and scale.
