The procurement was conducted using an open competition method, below the threshold, under the legal framework of the UKPGA 2023/54. The tender falls within the education and training services industry category and was carried out in the UKC12 region of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage has moved from tender to award, with contracts signed beginning on 1st October 2025, running until 30th September 2026, and potentially extendable by 12 months. The programme's overall value is set at £210,000 distributed across several awarded contracts, each with an initial gross amount of £42,000. This tender creates significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in education and training services to expand their business, particularly those interested in providing unaccredited courses for young adults. Middlesbrough Council has chosen multiple suppliers, including Actes Trust, Breckon Hill Community Enterprise, Cleveland Fire Authority, Katwalk Kimberleys, and NUR Fitness, indicating opportunities for similar enterprises to engage in future collaborations with sub-central government authorities. The procurement's open nature, along with the council's focus on fostering inclusion through education, marks a lucrative chance for businesses that can support the progression into employment and enhanced educational outcomes. ## Notice The purpose of Learning for Inclusion is to support learners into employment and to support progression into further education ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/067250-2025 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large, SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Oct 2025 | | Submission deadline | 8 Aug 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 9 Aug 2025 | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2025 - 30 Sep 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £28,000 | | Lots value | £28,000 | | Awards value | £35,000 | | Contracts value | £35,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MIDDLESBROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | MIDDLESBROUGH | | Post town | Cleveland | | Postcode | TS1 9FT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC3 Tees Valley | | ITL 3 | TLC32 South Teesside | | Local authority | Middlesbrough | | Electoral ward | Newport | | Westminster constituency | Middlesbrough and Thornaby East | | Delivery location | TLC12 South Teesside | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 6 | | Supplier names | ACTES TRUST; BRECKON HILL COMMUNITY CENTRE; BRECKON HILL COMMUNITY ENTERPRISE; CLEVELAND FIRE AUTHORITY; KATWALK KIMBERLEYS; NUR FITNESS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 21 Oct 2025 at 15:50 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/067250-2025 - 1 Sep 2025 at 14:09 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052870-2025 - 1 Sep 2025 at 14:04 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052866-2025 - 1 Sep 2025 at 13:59 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052863-2025 - 1 Sep 2025 at 13:43 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052852-2025 - 1 Sep 2025 at 13:39 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052848-2025 - 25 Jul 2025 at 10:51 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/043080-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/067250-2025 21st October 2025 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052870-2025 1st September 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052866-2025 1st September 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052863-2025 1st September 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052852-2025 1st September 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052848-2025 1st September 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/043080-2025 25th July 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://www.middlesbrough.gov.uk - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.open-uk.org/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
