Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport (DfTc), based in London, has completed the procurement process for awarding a contract for the "Provision of Master's Degree" services in the higher education sector. The contract, valued at £40,617, was awarded through a single tender action (below threshold) procurement method and is classified under CPV code 80300000 (higher education services). The contract commenced on 14th October 2024 and is set to end on 31st July 2026, with service delivery extending across the United Kingdom and several international locations. The tender period concluded on 31st July 2024.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large educational institutions or higher education service providers who can deliver master's programmes to international students. As the contract is already awarded to the London School of Economics and Political Science, it indicates a lucrative market for established educational entities to provide similar services in future tenders. Organisations not classified as SME or VCSE would particularly find such opportunities aligned with their capabilities.
