## Summary

Leicester City Council is initiating a procurement process titled "PAN3612 - Housing Training & Learning Framework," focused on the services industry category, primarily covering training services. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage with a pre-market engagement scheduled until 24 August 2026, aiming to gather market insights. The contract is scheduled to start on 16 November 2026 and end on 15 November 2029, with the possibility of renewal until 2031. This framework aims to address regulatory expectations, specifically the Competence and Conduct Standard (C&C) effective from October 2026, by ensuring that social housing providers' staff are adequately trained and competent.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for enterprises specialising in training services that can support social housing providers in meeting new regulatory standards. The Council is looking to establish a framework agreement, making it particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can offer innovative and effective training solutions. Businesses in the UK region, especially those well-versed with the Competence and Conduct Standards, would be well-positioned to participate and potentially secure a place within this framework.
