Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council is currently in the tender stage of their procurement process, seeking to establish a "Health & Safety Training Framework", aimed at providing health and safety courses. This open procurement process is primarily categorised under general public services within the services sector and is set in Kilmarnock, UKM93. Interested parties are invited to submit electronic submissions by 30th September 2025, which marks the closure of the tender period. The tender, identified as PS/23/12, employs an open procedure method, signifying a straightforward and transparent procurement process, ensuring inclusivity for any qualified provider interested in this opportunity.

This procurement presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in health and safety training. Since the framework operates under the Light Touch Regime, it remains receptive to new entrants annually, providing flexibility and ongoing opportunities for engagement through August 2027, with possible extensions. Businesses with expertise in delivering such specialised training services are well-suited to compete in this procurement, offering the chance to cater to local governmental needs and secure a sustained stream of engagements. Furthermore, the absence of an upper limit on framework participants opens the door for a wide range of providers to benefit from this opportunity.

If you previously tendered for this Framework and were successful (i.e. received letter of award in August 2023 or Sept 2024) you are NOT required to tender again. Existing providers will be contacted separately via PCS to submit pricing for the new courses which have been added to the pricing schedule for 2025. This procurement exercise is purely to allow new tender submissions or to allow tenderers who were unsuccessful to bid again. Tenderers who are successfully appointed in this batch, will be included for the remaining duration of the Framework (potentially until August 2027 if all extensions are invoked) The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this ITT exercise.
