Workshop Tenders and Contracts

Workshop tenders cover staff training and CPD such as inclusive recruitment sessions for hiring managers, leadership and team development, wellbeing workshops for people in custody or in the community, co-design and involvement workshop facilitation for health and care strategies, and strategic planning workshops for charities. Some notices split one programme into several sessions, while others sit inside a wider training or dynamic purchasing arrangement.

Stotles brings together workshop 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. Prison wellbeing workshops are called off from the Prison Education dynamic purchasing system, and integrated care boards appoint facilitators for co-design work directly.

Facilitators working with children, prisoners or vulnerable adults need enhanced DBS or security vetting, and workshops that collect participant views must handle data under UK data protection law. 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.

Workshop services are bought by councils, NHS integrated care boards, prisons for wellbeing sessions, police forces and charities running publicly funded programmes. Contracts are usually small and short, bought from a sole facilitator or a small consultancy, or called off a dynamic purchasing system.

Read organisational development plans, workforce and training strategies, engagement and co-design programmes and early market engagement notices, which usually name the workshops a buyer intends to commission. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

Workshop tenders carry training codes such as 80500000 (Training services), 80532000 (Management training services), 80522000 (Training seminars) and 80570000 (Personal development training services). Wellbeing and facilitation work is sometimes classified under 80000000 (Education and training services).
