04Training contracts: common questions
How many training tenders are live in London?
22 right now, from 19 public buyers, with 8 closing in the next 14 days. We bring together notices from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder and refresh this page every hour.
What do buyers ask for in training contracts?
Few notices state a minimum turnover; it is usually set out in the tender documents. Most requirements sit in the tender documents rather than the notice, so check the pack before you bid.
Can a small business win training contracts?
Often, yes. 20 of the 22 live tenders in London are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 4 are frameworks or dynamic purchasing systems (approved supplier lists that buyers then order from). Smaller lots and lower-value contracts are usually the best place to start. Check the minimum turnover and insurance first, as those are the checks that rule most bids out.
05Expert notes: Education & training
Education and training buyers look for relevant accreditation and quality evidence, such as Ofsted outcomes, awarding body approval or safeguarding procedures. Many contracts are short lots, which suits smaller providers.
