The service covers programme design and delivery, learning resources, assessments, communications support and programme management. Its purpose is to develop digital skills across the council, giving staff the skills and confidence to help colleagues through peer-to-peer learning. The programme will support adoption of new technologies, including the Windows 11 rollout. This is a digital skills and computer-user familiarisation service, classified under CPV 80533000. Delivery is for the council organisation in England, with the buying authority based at Morden Civic Centre. The requirement is for services rather than goods or construction work. The buyer reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open procedure below the threshold. The tender submission deadline was 19 August 2026 at 23:59. The contract period is from 1 September 2026 to 1 September 2027, ending at 23:59. Its stated value is £33,500. The opportunity is presented as a single requirement rather than separate lots. The published requirement identifies the service scope and delivery purpose, but does not set out a separate award weighting or scoring basis in the available procurement details. It is therefore a straightforward below-threshold competition for delivery of the complete training programme, including its supporting materials, assessments, communications activity and management. The council is the buyer and contracting authority. This opportunity suits a provider with a complete digital learning and organisational training offer rather than a supplier of standalone courses. Relevant strengths include designing train-the-trainer programmes, delivering practical digital skills training, producing accessible learning resources, assessing learner progress, and supporting communications around organisational change. Experience enabling peer-to-peer support would be directly relevant, as would the ability to help staff adopt new workplace technologies and support a Windows 11 rollout. The contract also calls for programme management, so bidders need the capacity to coordinate delivery, materials, assessments and communications as one service. The published suitability assessment does not identify the requirement as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that it is aimed at providers with established organisational capability and delivery capacity. ## Notice Merton Council has appointed 365Tribe to deliver a Digital Champion Train-the-Trainer Programme to support the development of digital skills across the organisation. The contract includes the design and delivery of training, learning resources, assessments, communications support and programme management to equip staff with the skills and confidence to support colleagues through peer-to-peer learning. The programme forms part of Merton's wider Digital Recharge initiative and will support the adoption of new technologies, including the Windows 11 rollout. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/41699683-b56a-4c28-a1fd-5d451da7b6ff | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 19 Aug 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Sep 2026 - 1 Sep 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £33,500 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | London Borough of Merton | | Locality | MORDEN | | Postcode area | Sutton | | Postcode | SM4 5DX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI6 Outer London - South | | ITL 3 | TLI63 Merton, Kingston upon Thames and Sutton | | Local authority | Merton | | Electoral ward | Merton Park | | Westminster constituency | Wimbledon | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80533000 - Computer-user familiarisation and training services ## Release History - 19 Aug 2026 at 16:11 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/41699683-b56a-4c28-a1fd-5d451da7b6ff ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/41699683-b56a-4c28-a1fd-5d451da7b6ff 19th August 2026 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.merton.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
