## Summary

Carmarthenshire County Council, in collaboration with Pembrokeshire County Council, initiated a procurement process to establish a framework for the delivery of qualification training to local authority social care staff, with an emphasis on adult and children’s social care services within the West Wales region. This process, which utilised a Dynamic Purchasing System under a restricted procedure, was focused on the education and training services sector, particularly within Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. The procurement, announced on 9th January 2025, aimed to ensure high-quality statutory training through multiple qualified providers. Despite the strategic approach, the tender’s current status is marked as cancelled, with awards for individual lots being classified as unsuccessful.

This procurement opportunity presented a substantial potential for growth for businesses involved in the provision of educational and training services, especially those focused on social care sectors. Companies offering comprehensive training solutions tailored to the qualifications of social care staff would have found this tender well-suited to their operations. The involvement of local authorities highlights the commitment to high standards and consistent training, positioning businesses to contribute significantly to workforce development. Engaging in such a tender could enhance a company’s reputation and expand its client base within the public sector.
