Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about training provision, training courses, training programme, e-learning, first aid training, leadership development, health and safety training, manual handling training in the UK public sector.
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.
Where are training contracts advertised?
Stotles brings together training tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.
If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Central government and NHS bodies often use the Learning and Training Services dynamic purchasing system, while colleges and police forces tender named courses directly.
What do you need to bid for training contracts?
Accredited courses must be delivered by approved centres for the awarding body, and trainers working with children or vulnerable adults need enhanced DBS checks. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar services at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.
Which frameworks are used to buy training services in the UK public sector?
The Government Commercial Agency runs the Learning and Training Services dynamic purchasing system. Central government departments, NHS bodies, regulators and councils use it to buy professional qualification courses, leadership and coaching programmes, mental health training for managers and CPD platforms, often by rapid award or further competition.
How is training work bought, and who buys it?
Buyers use frameworks and dynamic purchasing systems like the Government Commercial Agency learning and training services system, single contracts for a named course, or a managed training service where one provider coordinates suppliers. Councils, NHS trusts, central government, universities, colleges and Irish education and training boards are regular buyers.
How do I find training contracts before they are formally tendered?
Read workforce and training plans, learning strategies, framework renewals and expiry dates for existing contracts, which show training work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
What CPV codes cover training tenders?
Training notices carry 80500000 (Training services) and 79632000 (Personnel-training services).
