## Summary

Lincolnshire County Council has successfully completed the procurement stage for the "LCC Training Framework," which focuses on both statutory and non-statutory training for its staff and partners. The procurement process employed an open procedure under a light-touch regime. This initiative is set in the Lincoln region (UKF30) and aims to offer a flexible method for commissioning training services across various council directorates. The framework, divided into six lots, will span five years from 15th July 2026, with a possible extension of an additional three years. A supplier briefing session was held online on 13th May 2026 to guide potential suppliers through the application process.

The "LCC Training Framework" is designed to drive innovation and provide opportunities for business growth across multiple training categories. It welcomes participation from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs), offering training in health and safety, safeguarding, diplomas and further education, professional and early years training, as well as non-core emerging requirements. This extensive coverage offers diverse opportunities for training providers capable of delivering a range of educational services, including technical, health, and safety training. Additionally, all selected suppliers under lots 1-5 gain automatic entry to Lot 6 for emerging training services, fostering long-term business relationships with the council and opening new markets for growth.

## Notice
