Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) is developing an Open Light Touch Framework focusing on the delivery of Statutory and Non-Statutory/ Best Practice Training for its staff and relevant partners within Lincolnshire. This long-term commissioning model will underpin the delivery of training from Summer 2026 and beyond.
The Framework will enable a flexible and efficient approach to commissioning Training Services for multiple Council Directorates, including Children’s Services Quality and Standards Learning and Development Training Programme. It will drive innovation and create opportunities for Suppliers.
The Open Light Touch Framework will be commissioned for a period of 5 years with the possibility of an extension of up to a further 3 years.
The Framework will be separated into Lots as follows:
Lot 1 – Health and Safety/ Fire Safety Training
Lot 2 – Safeguarding Training
Lot 3 – Diplomas and Further Education Training
Lot 4 – Professional Training
Lot 5 – Early Years Training
Lot 6 – Non-Core and/or new and Emerging Requirements
Suppliers can request to join as many of Lots 1-5 as appropriate, which will subsequently gain them automatic entry into Lot 6 (for Training Services that are yet to be established and emerge throughout the term of the Framework).
LCC Children’s Commissioning, who are leading on the procurement, are hosting a one-hour, online Supplier Briefing Event via Microsoft Teams on Wednesday 13th May 2026 at 11:00am. Interested Suppliers are invited to attend this session by clicking on the link below, where a brief overview of the application process and delivery model will be presented. Participation in the Supplier Briefing Event is optional and will not influence the outcome of the procurement.
