This procurement is aimed at coordinating and delivering comprehensive highways-related training programmes. The contract was awarded on the 23rd of April 2026 and is active, with a commencement date of the 27th of April 2026. It will run until the 26th of April 2029, with a potential extension of up to 24 months. Located in Bedford, with services to be delivered within a 30-mile radius from the Council’s office, this contract is valued at £346,800 gross. The procurement method used was open, ensuring a competitive and transparent process. This contract presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises specialising in training and consultancy within the highways and public sector. With the aim of supporting approximately 40 operatives, inspectors, and supervisory staff, alongside other council teams, there is substantial scope for training providers to demonstrate expertise and expand their portfolios. Businesses that have the capability to deliver high-quality, cost-effective training services will be well-positioned to benefit from such contracts.
