How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.

The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered. The market figure counts awards delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered in the region where that award was delivered.
i
Half of these awards have an award date within 106 days of the bid deadline.

About this data
- Estimates, labelled. The price range, possible competitors and earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards, not published facts, win chances or price advice. The buyer’s own record and the wider market are shown apart, never mixed.
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender and Contracts Finder), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0, updated through the day and rebuilt nightly. Not every figure uses both feeds, and each one shows how many records it rests on: see the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.

Kirklees Council is looking into a potential procurement option to put in place future contractual arrangements for suitably qualified and experienced training provider(s) to deliver statutory, mandatory and compliance training programmes for Repairs and Maintenance employees and, where required, partner organisations.
To support this, we would like to gain information from the market regarding a number of issues related to the potential procurement exercise. Suppliers are therefore invited to consider the programme requirements detailed in this document and complete the attached questionnaire to give us feedback on the proposed approach.
This Market Sounding Exercise (MSE) is not an invitation to tender or a request for formal expressions of interest. The Council, as contracting authority, is issuing this request for information only, in order to assess the reaction of the market and thus make any potential procurement process more focused and efficient.
This process is being undertaken to gather knowledge in the following areas:
The potential level of market interest in delivering all or part of the Council’s Repairs and Maintenance compliance training requirements.
Whether providers can deliver the required range of statutory, mandatory and accredited training in agreed locations within the Kirklees district.
How the Council should structure the opportunity, including whether one provider, multiple providers or a lot-based approach would be most suitable.
Please see the Councils e tendering portal to access the document for completion.
