## Summary

Leeds City Council has awarded a direct procurement contract to McKinlay Mountaineering for providing technical advice and high-level climbing training to staff at the council's Activity Centres. This contract, valued at £10,000, involves services in the youth education sector, specifically targeting activity centres such as Herd Farm, WLAC, and the South hub in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. The procurement process, which is now in the Award stage, began in October 2024, with the contract set to commence on 1 November 2024 and conclude on 31 October 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in adventure and educational training services. Specifically, companies with expertise in climbing, rope work, and training personnel within activity centres could leverage this opportunity to expand their services. Whilst this particular contract favours larger businesses, it underscores the ongoing need for specialised training providers in educational and recreational activity centres in the region.
