## Summary

Fife Council’s requirement was for modern apprenticeship and traineeship training delivery, described as provision of modern apprenticeship training. The service supports learners undertaking modern apprenticeships and traineeships. Fife College was the organisation selected to deliver the training. The procurement was recorded as a single requirement for delivery in Fife. This is a training-services contract rather than a purchase of equipment or construction work, and is most relevant to colleges and training providers able to deliver apprenticeship learning for the Council’s learners. The buyer is Fife Council, based in Glenrothes; Fife College is based in Dunfermline. The stated service description is brief, so the defined scope is the delivery of modern apprenticeship training, with traineeship training also reflected in the requirement title.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Fife College. It was a public-to-public direct award without a prior competition, justified by extreme urgency to put arrangements in place for students returning to college after the summer. The contract was signed on 19 February 2025 and is active. Its value is £361,623. The arrangement was originally set for one year with two one-year extension options; both extensions were taken, making the documented term three years. There was one lot and one bid, submitted electronically. The award criteria were quality and price, weighted equally at 50% each. The recorded award entry does not give an award date or detailed contract start and end dates; the stated three-year term describes the extended contract duration.

For providers considering similar future work for Fife Council, this award shows demand for modern apprenticeship and traineeship training delivered through a public-to-public arrangement with Fife College. A credible competitor would need to provide apprenticeship training suited to learners returning to college, and to demonstrate quality and value for money: both were given equal weight in the assessment. The three-year extended arrangement indicates a sustained service requirement rather than a one-off training session. Fife College’s selection provides a relevant benchmark for organisations with the capacity to deliver this type of programme and work in partnership with a local authority. The procurement was awarded without a prior competition on grounds of extreme urgency, so this route should not be treated as evidence that future competitions will use the same process.
