## Summary

Dorset Council has launched an updated tender process for the acquisition of Learning and Development Training Services within Children’s Services and Adults Services, as well as for the Pan-Dorset Safeguarding Boards covering Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole. The procurement is designed as a Light Touch Regime framework under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, operating similarly to a Dynamic Purchasing System to allow flexible supplier participation. The procurement falls under the services category with an industry classification of Training Services (CPV code 80500000). As a result of an amendment, the contract end date has been extended from 31 March 2027 to 23 February 2029. Interested parties are invited to submit their proposals electronically as per the open procedure outlined, with the procurement stage currently at the Tender stage.

This tender represents a lucrative opportunity for businesses involved in the delivery of training services, offering scope for growth by joining a comprehensive framework led by Dorset Council. A diverse range of providers, including businesses of all sizes and service delivery methods like live online sessions, e-learning, face-to-face, or hybrid models, are encouraged to apply. Companies specialising in training across different domains can benefit from ongoing admissions and flexible participation, bringing innovative courses to organisations in key geographical locations, thereby expanding their market footprint and collaborating with regional authorities to provide essential training services.

## Notice

Training services will also be required by the Pan-Dorset Safeguarding Boards which cover the geographical areas of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. We are seeking a diverse range of training providers to join the Framework e.g. businesses of all sizes including sole traders and differing delivery methods. Dependent on needs, training courses will be delivered either: 'live' online, e-learning, face-to-face or a hybrid of these delivery methods. Providers do not need to be able to deliver training to both services in order to apply for a place on the Framework.
