## Summary

Greater Lincolnshire Combined County Authority commissioned accredited adult skills and employment services for learners across Greater Lincolnshire, including Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire. The requirement covers Entry Level to Level 2 qualifications, Level 3 vocational and technical qualifications, Higher Technical Qualifications, and core English, maths and digital skills. This is an education and training services requirement (CPV 80000000), with adult and other education services also classified under CPV 80400000. The authority is buying services rather than goods or construction works. Delivery is intended for the authority’s area, represented in the award data by the Greater Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire areas. The procurement forms part of the authority’s adult skills and employment programme and uses multiple providers to deliver the accredited training offer.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Seventeen active awards were made, with contracts signed on 31 July 2026 and running from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027, except TRN (TRAIN) LTD’s contract, which ends on 1 August 2027. Awarded suppliers and net values are: Acorn Training £289,356.06; Derby Business College £190,140.85; DMR Training & Consultancy £160,666; Hull College Group £208,695.20; Learning Curve Group £150,000.40; McGovern Assessments £177,464.79; Momentum Recruitment £150,000; Peter Smythe Transport Training £150,000; Realise Learning and Employment £177,464.79; Staff Power Training £177,464.80; Steadfast Training £150,000; Teach Vocation Group £150,000; The Construction Skills People £289,356.06; Think Employment £289,356.06; Total Futures £150,000; TRN (TRAIN) £150,000; and Workpays £150,000. Values are exclusive of VAT.

This requirement is commercially relevant to training providers, further education organisations, vocational specialists, employability businesses and assessment organisations able to deliver accredited adult learning at scale. Credible suppliers need access to recognised qualifications spanning Entry Level to Level 2, Level 3 vocational and technical training, Higher Technical Qualifications, and core English, maths and digital provision. The awarded supplier mix shows that both specialist SMEs and larger training groups can participate, including organisations focused on transport, construction, recruitment, employment support, assessment and general vocational education. Providers should be able to serve learners across Greater Lincolnshire, manage varied course provision, support progression into employment and maintain the administrative and quality systems required for accredited delivery. The authority states that further competitions will be held annually before each new academic year and when additional requirements arise.
