## Summary

Leicestershire County Council has completed a procurement process for the "City & Guilds Awarding Body" contract, classified under the Adult and Other Education Services industry category. The contract covers services within England, United Kingdom, with a contract period from 1st November 2023 to 31st October 2026. The procurement utilised a direct award method with a total contract value of £75,000. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 30th October 2023 and the awards announced on 30th October 2023, as published on 12th November 2024.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in adult education services, especially those experienced in managing learning qualifications. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would find this contract to be a favourable chance for growth, given the procurement's suitability criteria supporting such organisations. The direct award process simplifies potential business engagement, providing a stable and defined service requirement that can enhance a company's portfolio through a partnership with a notable entity like the City & Guilds.

## Notice

Awarding body is used for learner qualifications and we cannot go out to tender to a different Awarding Body as the prices are fixed. The process of moving awarding bodies is very time consuming and we wouldn't be able to give a spend limit to them as the spend depends on how many learners are enrolled on courses which vary from year to year and entered for exams
