Vocational Education and Training Provision
Vocational education and training (VET) plays a key role in developing skilled workers. Effective procurement practices help ensure high-quality VET programmes that meet industry needs.
VET programmes offer practical skills training for specific careers. They include apprenticeships, work-based learning, and courses at further education colleges.
Key education and training providers are:
- Further education colleges
- Private training organisations
- Employers offering apprenticeships
Training qualifications range from entry-level certificates to higher national diplomas. Popular fields include construction, healthcare, and IT. The government funds many VET courses, with additional support from employers. Quality assurance is crucial! Ofsted inspects training providers to ensure high standards. Awarding bodies like City & Guilds oversee qualifications.
Within a tender submission you need to make it very clear why you are the best option for any buyer. This often comes down to win themes.
Why is VET so important?
Many UK VET contracts focus on employability for underrepresented or disadvantaged groups, such as young people, long-term unemployed individuals, or those facing barriers to work. Securing these contracts enables you to make a positive social impact by reaching more learners and supporting them on pathways to meaningful employment. This not only boosts the quality of jobseekers, but provides an economic boost by securing full-time work in place of social support structures.
In terms if industry-specific benefits, the opportunity to broaden your learner base may also open doors to other community initiatives and funding, enabling your organisation to grow its presence and influence organically!
How to Win Vocational Educational & Training Tenders
Bid research
First, you’ll want to know where to find relevant opportunities. Our software, Tender Pipeline is the perfect tool for researching and selecting tender opportunities in all industries, including VET. It’s worth setting up alerts on the system, using our filter system. This way, you'll be notified of any opportunities that fit your criteria and you can move quickly when a relevant opportunity comes up. Use targeted keywords in your searches—terms like “vocational training,” “apprenticeships,” or “skills development”—to ensure you’re picking up on all the potential leads.
Check the terms and specification
When you find a tender that interests you it's important to have a structure and not charge ahead. Read through the specifications carefully to make sure your training can meet their specific needs. Often, clients will include details about the types of learners they’re targeting, the outcomes they want to achieve, and any delivery constraints. The evaluation criteria are also key here, as they reveal what the client values most—this could be experience, innovative delivery methods, or simply competitive pricing. Pay close attention to these, as your application should clearly reflect how you meet these requirements. Eligibility is also important; some tenders require specific accreditations or experience, so be sure you qualify or consider partnerships with providers who do.
Bid writing - developing tender and framework responses
When it comes to writing the tender itself, follow the format closely. Stick to any word limits and make sure your points are clear and concise.
Plain language is usually best, avoid jargon and write in a way that speaks directly to the client’s priorities. Use headings and structured sections where possible, as this will make your submission easy to read. It’s also important to provide evidence for any claims you make
If you’ve achieved high learner satisfaction rates or strong employment outcomes, include that data to support your claims. And don’t skip proofreading — submissions with typos or unclear sections can make a poor impression, so check everything carefully.

What Makes Your Training Service Different?
One of the best ways to stand out in a competitive tender process is to clearly showcase your unique value. In your proposal, articulate what differentiates your training programme from others, such as innovative methods or equipment, industry-relevant qualifications, or partnerships with local employers or employment agencies. You can also mention any existing training contracts or frameworks to bolster your credibility!
Unique aspects could also include your approach to blended or online learning, mentorship, or soft skill development. Make it clear how your unique methods contribute to better learner outcomes, which ultimately helps the contracting organisation achieve its own objectives - always keep this in mind.
A focus on outcomes and impact with the buyer
An outcome-focused approach is especially valued in UK VET tenders, where impact and measurable results often carry significant weight in the evaluation process. When preparing your proposal, outline not only your approach to training delivery but also how you will track, measure, and report learner outcomes.
Some tenders may specify metrics like progression into employment, learner satisfaction, or qualification attainment, so it’s beneficial to mention any systems or tools you use to monitor these areas. Including details on past performance metrics, such as the percentage of learners who gained employment post-training, can make your proposal more compelling and trustworthy.
Bid Writing Tips for Training and Education Tenders
Start with compliance
Compliance is an essential element of your education tender responses and should form a theme throughout the whole bid and your approach to tendering. It comes down to following their instructions. Use the tender documents as a tool to create a bid compliance framework! This can be used to draft tender responses, as well as your bid review process.
It’s important to demonstrate (and back up with examples!) that your training programmes meet UK compliance and quality standards. UK education contracts often require providers to comply with Ofsted or other regulatory bodies' standards, meet apprenticeship frameworks, or hold certifications relevant to the field.
Highlighting your compliance with these standards assures evaluators that you uphold best practices and regulatory requirements. When possible, include evidence such as inspection reports, quality assurance frameworks, or references to your adherence to vocational training standards.
Innovation is still a must
Vocational education and training tenders often bring opportunities for innovation and development within your organisation. With contract funding, you may be able to invest in areas like digital training platforms, virtual learning environments, or advanced tools and equipment.
Many VET contracts encourage providers to implement creative solutions that enhance learner engagement and outcomes, giving you room to pilot new ideas and improve your programme offerings. Investing in such innovations helps you remain competitive and adaptable to the changing educational landscape. Your social value tender responses are also another area to bring innovation and set your organisation apart!
Next Steps
With thorough preparation, a clear strategy, and a focus on outcomes, your organisation can position itself as a strong candidate to education and training contracts!

National Safeguarders Panel Management ServiceUK Glasgow Scottish GovernmentSafeguarders are a well-established and valued element of the Children’s Hearings System providing independent scrutiny of assessments and plans for children. However, the Safeguarder service had been prone to differing levels of quality in terms of recruitment, appointment and general practice due in part to the fragmented management arrangements across 32 local authorities.The Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011 (“ the 2011 Act”) was passed by Parliament on 25th November 2010 and received Royal Assent on 6th January 2011. It is an Act of the Scottish Parliament to restate and amend the law relating to children’s hearings and for connected purposes. One of the key provisions of the Act is the establishment of a National Panel of Safeguarders. Section 32 of the 2011 Act provides that Scottish Ministers must establish the Safeguarders Panel and also gives them a power, by regulation, to make provision in connection with matters relating to the Panel.The Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011 (Safeguarders Panel) Regulations 2012 (“the 2012 regulations”) include, among other things, provision on recruitment and selection, appointment and removal, training, fees and the operation and management of the panel.The current supplier is Children 1st. There are currently around 140 serving Safeguarders in Scotland. As part of the contract, there has been the establishment of national Practice Standards and the development of a supporting Performance Support and Monitoring Framework (PSMF) that provides the structure for monitoring and assessing safeguarders’ performance.The Contractor will ensure the operation and management of the Safeguarders Panel between the hours of 8:30 am and 5:00 pm Monday to Friday including some public holidays, where key partners such as the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service (SCTS), Scottish Children’s Reporter Administration (SCRA) and Children’s Hearings Scotland (CHS) are operating and where this is agreed.

Pre-Case Management Hearing Meeting Pilot Delivery PartnerUK London Department for EducationThe services relate to the Department's aim to procure a delivery partner for a pilot aimed at reducing delays in public law proceedings in the family court. The pilot will specifically introduce a pre-Case Management Hearing (CMH) meeting between the Cafcass Guardian (CG) and Local Authority social worker to facilitate mutual understanding about the case, to ensure a smoother process through court. This is an information-sharing meeting, taking place after the issuing of care proceedings, but prior to the first Case Management Hearing. This will allow the Cafcass Guardian to gain a better understanding of the case and be better informed on the social work analysis of the timing of the application and reason for type of Order applied for. We would expect, for example, that that this increased clarity may reduce uncertainty that leads to requests for new expert assessments at the case management hearing, and facilitate a more effective process through court.• A proof of concept pilot of this work is currently underway (August to December 2023), testing the pre-CMH meeting in 22 local authorities. We are now seeking a Delivery Partner to facilitate the national roll out of the substantive pilot from March 2024 to April 2025 . All local authorities across England will be encouraged to participate through an open expression of interest process.• While we will work closely with the successful Delivery Partner to design the specifics of a programme of work, there are four main areas we expect the Delivery Partner to service:• Implementation and change management;• Supporting effective working relationships;• Spreading of learning; and• Oversight and monitoringThe DfE are seeking to contract the Delivery Partner to:• Establish and maintain relationships with the key stakeholders and professionals involved in the pilot, including professionals from LAs, Cafcass and HMCTS to ensure successful delivery of the pilot.• Set up and deliver workshops to provide training to professionals involved in the pilot, to support them in testing this meeting.• Set up drop-in sessions and communications to enable regular access to support and feedback. Feedback may include any recommendations to refine the meeting structure.• Provide ongoing support, training, information and advice for local authorities and partners through a range of methods of support.• Collect qualitative and quantitative data and monitor progress of the initiative to the department, including regular reporting to the DfE.• Support the Evaluation Partner to enable an effective independent evaluation of the pilot.Alongside the Delivery Partner, an Evaluation Partner will also be commissioned to independently evaluate the implementation, delivery, and impact of the pilot on its intended outcomes.This competition is being run through DfEs E-Sourcing portal - Jaggaer https://education.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.htmlPlease contact vicki.gregg@education.gov.uk if you have any issues.

Arts Access Scheme - "All-In" Digital Membership SystemUK Manchester The Arts Council of EnglandArts Council England intends to commission a Digital Membership System (DMS), as part of a programme of work to develop a UK-wide access scheme, All In, which will improve access, usability, and inclusion for D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people to creative and cultural activity across the UK. All In will offer practical tools that will help organisations offer better access provisions in a more efficient manner, underpinned by industry backed access standards for the sector as well as training and support to meet those standards. It will also provide audience insights for partners and participating venues. The DMS will be one of the cornerstones of All In, as a tool which facilitates the connection between creative and cultural organisations and their customers. The DMS will allow customers to sign up to All In and create a profile giving details of their access requirements. Organisations will also subscribe via the DMS and create profiles for their access provisions and performances. The database of organisations and their provisions will be used to create access directories to aid customers to find events and activities that meet their requirements. An organisation’s subscription will also give them access to the database of customers and their requirements. The DMS will therefore be a tool which allows customers to quickly and easily share their requirements with any arts or cultural organisation they wish to attend, either through tech integrations with their existing ticketing and CRM software or by manual look up. We are open to different approaches to delivering a DMS either being procured from a consortium or a single multi-disciplined supplier, with the development work occurring within the UK.

Concessionary Travel Applications Decision MakerNUTS: UK UK Department for TransportThe appeals casework is demand-led depending on the number of appeals submitted each year by bus operators. The contract awarded for this work will cover appeals from 2024/25 to 2026/27, as well as a small number of remaining appeals from previous years. DfT have recently updated the reimbursement guidance and calculator, which may potentially lead to an initial increased number of appeals in 2024/25, and possibly 2026/27. DfT are also undertaking a review of the appeals process, in order to ensure that it is up to date and works as well as possible. The Decision Maker will be kept informed on any updates to the appeals process. We do not expect changes to the core requirement below.5.2 The criteria required to be met for this contract are set out below. Bidders will need to demonstrate in their proposal examples of how and when they have employed these skills to enable the Department to assess the Decision Maker’s skills:5.2.1 The Decision Maker will be required to analyse evidence submitted by bus operators and TCAs and to make a judgement that will determine the level of reimbursement due.5.2.2 In reviewing the evidence submitted, the Decision Maker will need to be able to identify and resolve any legal issues raised.5.2.3 The Decision Maker will be expected to familiarise themselves with the latest version of DfT’s reimbursement guidance and reimbursement calculator and make use of this alongside any other robust additional evidence provided by operators and TCAs. 5.2.4 Quality assurance of the Decision Maker’s analysis will be provided by DfT economists and lawyers.5.2.5 Legislation gives the Decision Maker powers to hold an oral hearing to bring both parties to an appeal before them to give evidence, although it is at the Decision Maker's discretion whether to do so, as there is currently no obligation to hold an oral hearing.5.2.6 For each appeal case, the Decision Maker will be required to complete a written determination report following quality assurance of the Decision Maker’s analysis and by DfT economists and lawyers. When a determination of an appeal is complete the Contract Manager will forward this document to both parties involved in the appeal.5.2.7 The Decision Maker may be required to comment on revisions made by the Department’s officials to its reimbursement guidance and reimbursement calculator.5.2.8 The Decision Maker may be required to suggest improvements to concessionary travel guidance and the appeals process, or to assist with any reviews of the guidance.5.2.9 The Decision Maker may be required to attend meetings with external stakeholders. This could include reimbursement training and/or feedback sessions with local authorities and/or bus operators.5.3 For accountability and consistency purposes, the Decision Makers will need to be nominated individuals. Proposals should therefore make clear which individual is being put forward for the role and provide relevant information with a Curriculum Vitae clearly showing the nominated person’s experience.5.4 Under the current legislation, bus operators are required to submit appeals within 56 days of the commencement or variation of concessionary travel schemes in TCA areas. As concessionary travel schemes usually commence from 1st April each year, this means the volume of the appeals caseload for that year is usually known by 27th May. However, it should be noted that negotiations between both parties continue throughout the appeals process and often lead to agreement and withdrawal of the appeal before determination is required.5.5 Based on past appeals volumes, we estimate that an experienced Decision Maker would take on average, between three and five days to complete a standard case. However, if the issues are complex, or the Decision Maker is new to the subject area, it may take longer to complete a case.5.6 The appointed Decision Maker will receive
