External Training and Workforce Skills Framework
The submission route named on the official notice.
East Ayrshire Council's Education & Training cycle is past due — it ran about every 4 months across 7 notices, and the door is open now. It may re-tender at any time.
63% of East Ayrshire Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
This is a re-opening of an existing framework.
Current providers need not reapply.
Existing providers were notified in March and June of 2024 or November 2025.
The Council seek procure a Framework of training providers which will incorporate the requirements of East Ayrshire Works with the needs of the Workforce and Future Skills team.
The Framework will be split into two lots with the needs of each individual service.
