Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Advising, Drafting and Briefing Ministers training" contract. This tender, classified under the e-learning services industry (CPV code 80420000), involves providing comprehensive training for staff and is valued at £12,942. The contract spans multiple regions, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted through a single tender action (below threshold), with the award finalised on 19th September 2024, and the contract period extending from 19th September 2024 to 24th November 2024. The key date for the award publication was 22nd January 2025.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in e-learning and training services to collaborate with a major government body like the Home Office. Although the awarded contract went to Political Engagement Limited, other businesses offering targeted and high-quality training solutions can look forward to similar future opportunities. The procurement method of direct single tender actions below the threshold suggests potential for smaller, agile businesses to engage with government contracts, even if they do not meet specific SME or VCSE criteria. Such contracts can markedly enhance a company's portfolio and reputation in delivering government training programmes.
