Summary of the contracting process

Fife College is seeking up to three associate trainers to deliver and develop training for civil and structural engineering courses and assessments for external clients. This is a specialist education and professional training service, covering civil engineering teaching at degree level or equivalent, together with related assessment delivery. The work will be delivered for Fife College in Fife, with the college as the buying organisation. It suits civil engineering professionals who can combine practical construction-sector expertise with the ability to teach and assess learners. The procurement is classified under education and training services, including vocational training and specialist technical training (CPV 80000000).

The procurement has reached tender: Fife College invited suppliers to submit offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline is 21 August 2026 at 12:00, and bids are scheduled to be opened at 13:00 the same day. The contract period is 720 days, with two possible 12-month extensions. Its total estimated value is £150,000. One lot covers the associate trainer service, and variants are not allowed. Bids must remain valid for 90 days and be submitted in English. Evaluation is based on suitability, including a qualified civil engineer at least at Bachelor’s degree level, five years’ demonstrable site-engineering experience in construction, recent experience delivering civil engineering training to degree level or equivalent, and a recognised teaching qualification.

This opportunity suits individual civil engineers, specialist training providers and construction-sector consultancies able to supply experienced trainers. Suitable personnel must have a Bachelor’s degree or higher in civil engineering, substantial practical site-engineering experience in the construction sector, and recent evidence of delivering civil engineering training at degree level or equivalent. They must also hold a recognised teaching qualification, such as a Teaching Qualification in Further Education or a Level 3 Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector qualification. Suppliers should be able to provide named staff and their qualifications, deliver high-quality civil and structural engineering teaching, support assessments, and work with external clients. The requirement favours providers combining current industry practice with credible teaching capability.
