Common questions

Training tenders

How many training tenders are open in the UK?

39 open UK public sector training tenders were listed on Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales on 8 October 2026. 1,196 training contracts were awarded in the last twelve months.

Who wins training contracts?

Over the last twelve months the suppliers named on the most training contract awards were QA Limited (35), Multiverse Group Limited (13), Cambridge Spark (11). Most suppliers win only one or two, so the market is wider than the top names suggest.

How much is a typical training contract worth?

The median published value of single-supplier training contracts awarded in the last twelve months was £60,000. Values vary widely, and many notices publish no value at all.

Can small businesses win training contracts?

Yes. 60% of the training contracts awarded in the last twelve months where the buyer recorded the winner's size went to small and medium-sized businesses (363 of 608).

How do I get training tenders by email?

Tender Radar checks every new UK notice each weekday morning against your organisation's profile, scores how well each fits and emails you the ones worth reading, with the training contracts coming up for renewal. It is free for 30 days, then £30 a month.

How these figures are worked out: a notice or award is counted here when one of its CPV codes falls in this sector, or its title names the work. Awards are from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder; open tenders from all four UK portals. SME status is as the buyer recorded it on each award notice.
