## Summary

Southampton City Council has completed a procurement process for "Moving and Positioning Training" services. The process was categorised under the Training Services industry (CPV: 80500000) and targeted the SO14 7LY postal code area in Southampton, England. The procurement stage is complete, with a tender period that ended on 27th August 2024, and the contract commenced on 23rd September 2024, running until 23rd September 2026. The contract was awarded on 11th September 2024 to OT4Independence Limited, with a total value of £66,300. The procurement method used was a competitive quotation process below the threshold, indicating a more streamlined approach tailored for smaller procurement exercises.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies specialising in training services. The contract involves offering standard one-day moving and positioning courses, and refresher courses for Occupational Therapists. Given the frequency of these courses (13 standard courses and 4 refresher courses annually), businesses adept in providing training to enablement and disability service staff would be well-suited to compete. The process is particularly favourable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as indicated by the suitability criteria. Engaging in such tenders can bolster a company's credentials and facilitate longer-term collaborations with public authorities.
