## Summary

Leicester City Council has completed the procurement of gas assessment and certification services, with Leicester College appointed as the supplier. This contracting process commenced due to the inability of the previous supplier to meet the obligations required by the council. The procurement was conducted under the legal framework of the UK Parliament Act 2023/54 and utilised a direct procurement method below the threshold, thereby eliminating competition. The contract, titled "FEW1538 - Gas assessment and certification services," was awarded on 4th November 2025, and services are scheduled from 11th November 2025 to 31st October 2027, with a gross contract value of £47,580. The tender falls under the "Education and training services" category, located in the UKF21 region, covering Leicester and surrounding areas.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in educational and vocational training services, to engage with sub-central government authorities like Leicester City Council. Companies in this domain can leverage such contracts to expand their portfolios, establish relationships with government organizations, and demonstrate capability in delivering critical certification services. This particular tender could appeal to businesses that focus on niche training services, particularly if they are positioned within or near the Leicester area, thus playing a crucial role in maintaining and developing essential skill sets required in the gas industry.

## Notice

Our previous supplier (SMB college group) was struggling to fulfil their obligations due to staffing issues. During our last meeting they said that this was unlikely to improve until the end of 2025 start of 2026. Due to our legal obligations all our gas qualified staff need to hold the relevant gas qualifications and we want to award it to Leicester College who came second in the initial tender.
