Leicester City Council is seeking a provider to develop and deliver face to face Trusted Assessor training to staff working across the Adult Social Care and Safeguarding Division.

The provider will develop training resources, ensure trainers are appropriately qualified and understand local need, and ensure the training is culturally appropriate and reflects the diverse communities in Leicester. The proposed Contract will commence on 26 May 2026 and expire on 25 September 2026. The contract period will be four months. There is no option to extend. The estimated contract value is £60,000.
