Summary of the contracting process

The Cabinet Office has completed the procurement process for the "Operational Readiness" project, a service contract classified under training services (CPV 80500000). The project involves three key work packages to prepare for the operational delivery of a UK-wide compensation scheme for those affected by infected blood. Bloom Procurement Services Ltd, located in Gateshead (NE8 2ET), is the supplier for this contract, which was awarded through a selective procurement method under a framework agreement. The contract period runs from 23rd September 2024 to 11th November 2024, with a total value of £328,000. Importantly, this initiative has been tailored for SMEs and is thus accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in training and operational readiness services. SMEs with expertise in managing large-scale public service delivery, especially in healthcare or related fields, will find this contract particularly advantageous for business growth. With the procurement already in the award stage and a reputable buyer like the Cabinet Office, businesses that can offer innovative training solutions or have experience assisting vulnerable customers stand to benefit greatly from this collaboration, potentially leading to future opportunities within the public sector.
