Summary of the contracting process

The University of Aberdeen commissioned a range of health and safety training for individuals and groups. The requirement covers both in-house delivery and training provided externally, supporting the university’s health and safety needs across Aberdeen. This is a professional training service, classified under CPV 71317200, covering health and safety services. The requirement was structured as a single lot and included the potential use of a framework agreement with up to two participants. The buyer is the University of Aberdeen, an education-sector public body. Suppliers serving organisational clients with the capability to deliver varied health and safety courses to individual learners and groups, both on university premises and at external locations, are the closest fit for this requirement.

This procurement has been awarded following an open procedure and the tender is complete. The submission deadline and bid opening were 26 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 26 June 2026 and signed on 22 July 2026. Tillycroy Support Services and Apex Fit Testing Solutions were selected for the single lot. The active contract is valued at £200,000. Its initial term is 1,080 days, with an optional one-year extension, and the arrangement allows electronic ordering and payment. Three electronic bids were received, all from SMEs. The requirement did not allow variant bids, submissions had to be in English, and bids were required to remain valid for 90 days. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award demonstrates established demand from the University of Aberdeen for outsourced health and safety training delivered in more than one format. A credible future competitor would need to provide a broad training offer for both individuals and groups, with the operational ability to deliver in-house as well as at external venues. The requirement suits specialist training providers able to manage varied course demand for an education-sector organisation and operate reliably through electronic ordering, invoicing and payment processes. The two appointed suppliers are SMEs, and all three bids came from SMEs, indicating that the opportunity is accessible to focused specialist businesses rather than only large national providers. Experience of serving organisational clients and coordinating multiple delivery settings would strengthen a supplier’s position when this type of requirement next reaches the market.
