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. 2 of the 4 live tenders in Northern Ireland are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses. 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.
