Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Media Training for the Executive Team" was conducted by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) and is classified under the "Personnel-training services" industry category. Located in England, the procurement process was carried out using a direct method of procurement, specifically a single tender action below the threshold, which simplifies the competition by involving a sole supplier. The award stage has been reached, with an active award valued at £12,271.05 made to Civil Service Learning. The training services encompass several regions, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The contract period was from 20th May 2026 to 19th June 2026, following the tender period's end on 19th May 2026.

This tender represents a modest but focused opportunity for businesses specialising in media and personnel training services. As the chosen procurement method was direct, with specific delivery addresses worldwide, the opportunity mainly suits large organisations with established expertise in media training and a capacity to deliver across multiple international locations. While it does not cater specifically to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), businesses with experience in governmental or executive education and training would find such contracts appealing for expanding their portfolio and securing reputable governmental clients.
