What is being bought

This procurement process is for an Adult Digital Skills Training Framework which is a multiple lot, multiple supplier framework, with up to five suppliers appointed to each lot. This competition will appoint five Delivery Partners for each lot with tenderers having the ability to apply for one or both lots in this process. There are two lots available and therefore the Combined Authority will look to appoint up to ten Delivery Partners. The framework will be run for 4 years (2+2 break clause) with a maximum value of £30 million (not guaranteed). Innovative and responsive adult training courses are required to support individuals to retrain or upskill while in work (including self-employment) or whilst seeking employment opportunities. Retraining programmes should be designed to address employer skills shortages in sectors identified in the West Yorkshire Employment and Skills Framework and offer individuals a clear line of sight to career progression opportunities.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Training services (80500000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 806,6562 median · 47.9 average (3,113 of 6,656 with a bid count)3.2 average (3,415 of 6,656 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
