Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has completed a procurement process for the project titled "DSIT - Talent Attraction," focusing on services within the Education and Training industry category. This project, located in the North West region of the United Kingdom, aimed to source two entry-level Data Engineers with a structured training programme. The procurement process followed a selective method, using a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates included the tender period end on 8th October 2025 and the contract period running from 23rd October 2025 to 21st October 2026. The award, published on 10th November 2025, was valued at GBP 16,250.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). By focusing on talent attraction through structured training, businesses operating in the education and training services sector stand to benefit. Companies with expertise in developing training programmes for technology roles, such as data engineering, would be well-suited to compete in similar future opportunities. The awarded supplier, Code First Girls Limited, exemplifies an SME capable of fulfilling such tailored requirements, indicating a promising environment for those aiming to engage with government contracts under selective and framework agreement procurement processes.
