Summary of the contracting process

The Competition and Markets Authority has awarded a contract to Birkbeck College London for an Economics MSc programme titled "Economics MSc." This part-time professional qualification, aimed at a staff member within the organisation, falls under the industry category of Adult-education services at university level (CPV:80430000). Located in London, the procurement process is now in the award stage, having been completed with a contract value of £16,230. The contract commenced on 2nd September 2024 and will run until 31st July 2026, which was part of a Light Touch procurement methodology aligned with Chapter 3 (Regulation 74) of the PCR 2015.

This tender presents opportunities for higher education institutions and providers specialising in professional qualifications to engage with public sector clients and demonstrate their capabilities in delivering high-quality education services. Businesses already operating in university-level adult education, particularly those offering flexible learning schedules to accommodate part-time study, would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. While this particular contract is not targeted at SMEs or VCSEs, larger organisations with similar expertise can benefit from the visibility and reputation enhancement that comes from securing government contracts.
