Leicester City Council · Local authority

In brief

Leicester City Council is looking for suppliers for training work (East Midlands).

It is a framework worth up to £166,675 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 3 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 16 November 2026.

It is split into 4 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Bids close at midday, Monday 12 October 2026.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Price 40% · Quality 60%

Quality matters most. You can win without being the cheapest.

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £166,675 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

Tender documents

What the notice says

The Housing Division is required to respond to increasing regulatory expectations, including the introduction of the Competence and Conduct Standard, which comes into effect in October 2026. This standard requires social housing providers to evidence that staff have the appropriate skills, knowledge, experience, and display the right behaviours to deliver safe and effective services. The framework will enable Leicester City Council (LCC) to commission training and learning provision on an as-required basis throughout the duration of the framework.
