Summary of the contracting process

Defra Commercial is procuring education and training services for 15 Team Leader or Supervisor Level 3 ST0384 requirements. The work is aimed at developing team leadership and supervisory capability through the specified Level 3 programme. It is a services contract bought by Defra Commercial, based at 17 Smith Square in London. Delivery locations cover the United Kingdom, including the listed London postcode, as well as the Isle of Man, Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories, Europe and the rest of the world. The opportunity is therefore relevant to training providers able to deliver team leader and supervisor development at Level 3 across UK and international locations. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a single tender action below the threshold, using a direct procurement route. The award was made to Raise The Bar Limited on 19 August 2026 for £75,000. The contract runs from 19 August 2026 to 25 December 2027. The tender submission deadline was 19 July 2026 at 12:00. The requirement is classified as education and training services and covers 15 Team Leader or Supervisor Level 3 ST0384 requirements. The award is active and the tender status is complete. This outcome records a direct appointment rather than a competitive open tender, with the selected supplier responsible for delivering the contracted training service during the stated contract period.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Defra Commercial for structured Level 3 team leader and supervisor training delivered at meaningful scale. A credible future supplier would need the capability to provide the specified ST0384 programme, manage delivery for 15 requirements, and support learners or participants across the locations covered by the requirement. Providers should be able to coordinate consistently across the United Kingdom and, where required, wider territories and international locations. The buyer has identified the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so specialist organisations in those sectors may be well placed to compete. Relevant strengths include reliable programme management, appropriately skilled training staff, quality-assured delivery and the operational capacity to serve a public sector client.
