Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions procured WorkWell (Expansion) National Support Team services. The requirement is for training programme services, covering the delivery of learning and training under the WorkWell expansion programme. Services are to be delivered across England. The procurement was structured as a call-off from the Learning and Training Services Dynamic Purchasing System, RM6219, so it is relevant to organisations that provide public-sector training programmes and can operate within a national delivery model. The named supplier is Social Finance Ltd. The requirement sits within the services category and concerns a defined national support team rather than construction, goods supply or general consultancy. It may therefore suit established training providers, social enterprises and other organisations with experience delivering structured learning services for public bodies across England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 1 July 2026 to Social Finance Ltd. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2029. Its awarded value is £4,810,250, while the procurement was estimated at between £4,810,250 and £6,600,000. The tender submission deadline was 5 May 2026 at 11:00. It used a selective procedure and was a call-off from framework agreement RM6219, the Learning and Training Services Dynamic Purchasing System. The Department for Work and Pensions evaluated the requirement through that purchasing route. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active and covers services delivered across England.

This award demonstrates demand from the Department for Work and Pensions for nationally delivered training programme services supporting the WorkWell expansion. A credible future competitor would need the organisational capacity to provide learning and training services across England, manage delivery at national support-team scale and work effectively with a central government buyer. Experience of public-sector training delivery, robust programme management and the ability to operate through a dynamic purchasing system or framework call-off would be commercially relevant. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller providers and mission-led organisations may be well placed where they can evidence reliable delivery, suitable governance and the resources to meet a substantial, multi-year service requirement.
