## Summary

Fife Council commissioned Fife College to deliver modern apprenticeship training in Fife. The service supports learners undertaking modern apprenticeships; the procurement description does not give further detail about the training offer or learner numbers. This is a public-sector training services contract delivered in the Fife area, with Dunfermline identified as the college’s location. The requirement was arranged directly between public bodies, with Fife College providing the training to meet the council’s need for apprenticeship provision.

The contract has been awarded to Fife College and is active. It was signed on 19 February 2025, at a value of £361,623. The original arrangement was for one year with two possible one-year extensions; both extensions were taken, so the contract is documented as a three-year term. The procurement was a direct award between public bodies, made without a prior competition. Fife Council cited urgency in putting arrangements in place for students returning to college after the summer. The recorded evaluation split the basis equally between quality and price. One bid was received. The tender is marked complete; the lot is separately marked cancelled, while the award and contract are active.

For a future requirement from Fife Council, credible providers would need to deliver modern apprenticeship training for learners in Fife and demonstrate quality alongside competitive pricing. The recorded evaluation gave equal weight to quality and price, so providers should be prepared to evidence both effective training delivery and value for money. This award shows that the council has met the requirement through a direct public-to-public arrangement with Fife College, rather than a competed supplier selection. The scale is a multi-year training service delivered by an established local college. Training organisations with the capacity to sustain provision over several years, support students returning to college, and work effectively with a public-sector buyer would be well placed to compete if a comparable requirement comes to market.
