How do I find training tenders in the UK public sector?

Search live and pre-tender training notices, or move earlier by reading buyers' workforce development strategies and framework renewal notices before a tender is published. On Stotles you can track a buyer from early signal through to the live tender and the eventual award.

What kind of training does the public sector buy?

Vocational and licence-based training such as HGV driving and welding, safety and compliance refreshers, professional development and leadership courses, and specialist clinical or technical training all appear. Much of it is bought through multi-supplier frameworks split into lots by subject or region, rather than as single standalone contracts.

Are these mostly framework agreements or single contracts?

Frameworks are common, particularly from further education colleges, NHS trusts and local authorities renewing training provision for several years at a time, but plenty of single, shorter contracts for a named course or qualification appear as well.

What CPV codes cover training tenders?

The main codes observed are 80500000 (Training services) and 79632000 (Personnel-training services), alongside more specific codes for vocational and computer training. They are not applied as a filter on this page: keyword matching finds far more on-intent notices than the CPV codes alone would.

Training Tenders and Contracts

Vocational, safety and compliance training make up a large share of the volume, from HGV licence courses to fire and safety refreshers.
