## Summary

The Hampshire County Council has recently awarded a contract for the "Skills & Participation - Retrofit Academy Licence Part A" tender in the training services category. The tender was directly awarded to The Retrofit Academy Community Interest Company under a single tender action below the threshold. The contract period starts on June 1, 2022, and ends on March 31, 2025, with a contract value of £70,833.33. The procurement stage was marked as complete on May 27, 2022. This opportunity is located in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This procurement process by Hampshire County Council presents opportunities for businesses, particularly SMEs and organisations involved in vocational, community, and social enterprise activities. The focus of the tender is on developing skills for the retrofit sector and supporting the Council's Climate Change Programme. Businesses that provide accredited skills training and expertise in green construction are well-suited to compete. The direct award nature of this procurement indicates a strategic partnership between the buying organisation and the chosen supplier for mutual growth and success.

## Notice

The Retrofit Academy CIC Licence Part A is an exclusive areas agreement to work on a strategic skills programme for the retrofit sector (green construction). The licence will provide Hampshire County Council (the Council) with a mechanism to ensure that the Council develop the workforce in support of the Council's Climate Change Programme, and specifically the intended Domestic Homes Retrofit Programme. To deliver this latter scheme will require a skilled workforce that does not currently exist at the scale required. Developing the skills capacity to undertake retrofit projects is a critical success factor to the wider programme. Therefore, a direct award to The Retrofit Academy Community Interest Company would be appropriate in this circumstance, where there are no other suitable professional bodies who can provide accredited skills training and support retrofits (green construction) in this region and that can deliver within the required timescale.
