## Summary

The procurement process led by Leicestershire County Council aimed to establish a standing list of training providers for its Children and Family Services department. This process, titled "Children and Family Services Standing List for Training Providers," focused on education and training services, specifically in Early Years and Governor support. Located in Leicester, the council has engaged in an open procurement method under a light-touch regime. The procurement comprised two lots: Lot 1 for Early Years Inclusion and Child Care, and Lot 2 for Governor Support & Development. The tender process was completed, with contracts signed on 1st and 18th September 2025, ensuring service delivery from 19th September 2025 to 18th September 2029 in the UKF22 region, generating a gross contract value of £432,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations specialising in education and training to engage with Leicestershire County Council. The focus on both early years education and governance support allows businesses with expertise in those areas of training to expand their footprint and leverage new partnership opportunities. The engagement of both large-scale providers like Barnardo's and SMEs such as Tigerlily First Aid Training Ltd illustrates the inclusive nature of this procurement, fostering a diverse range of service providers. This interaction not only serves the council's needs but enables businesses to contribute to community development and access long-term growth prospects.
