## Summary

Essex County Council has completed a procurement process for Child Sexual Abuse Training services, aimed at enhancing the capabilities of the Children and Families team in managing child sexual abuse cases. This procurement, titled "Child Sexual Abuse Training," falls under the industry category of management training services and is particularly significant in the regions throughout the United Kingdom. The awarding on this contract stage concluded with the signing of the contract on 19th January 2026. The agreement carries a value of £83,100 and spans from 27th February 2026 to 26th February 2028. The procurement method utilised was direct, processed below the threshold without competition, and aligned with legal standards set out in UK legislation.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in training and educational programme delivery, specifically those with expertise in sensitive subjects such as child sexual abuse. Organisations similar to Barnardo's, which is a large-scale supplier already involved in this contract, could benefit substantially by offering new or complementary services. Companies skilled in creating and managing comprehensive educational curriculums that meet rigorous standards of monitoring and evaluation would be particularly suited to engage in similar future opportunities with public authorities like Essex County Council.

## Notice

Essex County Council's Children and Families team needed to improve its understanding and response to Child Sexual Abuse. In response to this, ESCA wanted to work with the Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse and purchase their accredited Child Sexual Abuse Practice leads programme and managers programme. The child sexual abuse practice leads programme is a rigorous programme involving one or two days of learning per month, depending on timings for delivery. Delegates attend 10 1/2 day learning sessions, which include a half-day consolidation session at the end, where they will be joined by their managers to focus on embedding learning into practice. The training is CPD certificated and the content of courses is regularly reviewed to ensure that learners have access to the latest developments in research and practice. The Centre apply vigorous standards of monitoring and evaluation to all their work, and examples of previous evaluations of the practice leads programme can be found on their website.
