## Summary

The procurement process, led by Powys County Council, focuses on re-opening the Social Care Training Framework for training courses across Adults and Children's Services for the years 2026 to 2027. The industry category is primarily training services, with delivery addresses located in the region of UKL24, which encompasses Llandrindod Wells, United Kingdom. The framework agreement spans up to four years, running from 1st April 2023 until 31st March 2027, offering annual funding based on the grant allocation process from the Welsh Government and the Council. This procurement, compliant with the Light Touch Regime under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, utilises an open procedure to ensure transparency and equal opportunity for suppliers. The procurement is in the award stage with some contracts already activated, including one for Children's Social Care Training awarded to IGNITE(TRAINING WALES) LTD.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in training services, especially those targeting social care training sectors. Companies that excel in providing educational and training solutions tailored to both adult and children's social care needs are well-positioned to benefit from this framework. Additionally, businesses with the capacity to fulfil varied training requirements and adapt to scheduling based on workforce demand will find this framework conducive to growth. With the flexibility offered by the framework agreement and the potential for sustained annual funding, both established training providers and new entrants have the chance to expand their footprint within the public sector, capitalising on the strong demand for specialised training services in social care.
