## Summary

Leeds City Council recently completed a public procurement process to secure services from McKinlay Mountaineering for technical advice and climbing/high-level training for staff at their various Activity Centres. The procurement, classified under "Specialist training services" (CPV 80510000) and falling within the services category, was executed using a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the lack of suitable alternatives for technical reasons. The awarded contract, valued at £10,000, was signed on 30th September 2024, and encompasses all forms of climbing and rope work training across Herd Farm, WLAC, and the South hub in the UK.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specializing in climbing and technical training, particularly those with expertise in multiple activity centre environments. McKinlay Mountaineering's role in delivering tailored, high-quality training that reduces costs by enhancing in-house capabilities underscores the potential for similar businesses to offer competitive, specialist services.
