What the notice says
Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.
Dorset Council is seeking a broad range of providers who can deliver these services across Children's Services and Adults Services. Training services will also be required by the Pan-Dorset Safeguarding Boards which cover the geographical areas of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. We are seeking a diverse range of training providers to join the Framework e.g. businesses of all sizes including sole traders and differing delivery methods. Dependent on needs, training courses will be delivered either: ‘live’ online, e-learning, face-to-face or a hybrid of these delivery methods. Providers do not need to be able to deliver training to both services in order to apply for a place on the Framework.

Tender notice update published 19 February 2026. Stated change: The original contract end date of 31 March 2027 has been extended to 23 February 2029, resulting in a total extension period of 1 year, 10 months and 23 days. This modification is made in accordance with Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015). This arrangement is established as a Light Touch Regime (LTR) framework under PCR 2015 but operates in practice in a manner similar to a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), enabling flexible supplier participation and ongoing admissions throughout the arrangement’s duration. The extension and continued operation of the arrangement reflect the revised transitional and saving provisions introduced by the Procurement Act 2023 (Commencement No. 3 and Transitional and Saving Provisions) (Amendment) Regulations 2024 (SI 2024/959). These amended regulations revise key implementation deadlines, including the movement of transition dates previously scheduled for October 2028 to 23 February 2029. The amended commencement regulations also clarify the continued lawful operation of DPS‑type structures established under the PCR 2015, confirming that such arrangements may continue to function within the revised transitional window and recognising updated validity limits, including final continuity dates extended to 23 February 2029. This notice therefore records both the updated contract end date and confirms that the LTR framework—while not formally constituted as a DPS—continues to operate in a DPS‑like manner in compliance with the revised statutory timelines. Dorset Council reserves the right to terminate this arrangement prior to 23 February 2029.
