Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has successfully awarded a contract for "Asbestos Awareness Training" to Lucion Services Limited, as part of a completed procurement process. This service falls under the staff training services category (CPV: 80511000) and will be executed in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process used was a selective, restricted procedure, with the tender period ending on 3rd March 2025. The contract commenced on 28th August 2025 and will run through to 27th August 2028, with a total contract value of £61,000.

This contract presents substantial business opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in industry-compliant training services. Given the focus on asbestos awareness, businesses with expertise in environmental safety and compliance training are particularly well-positioned to leverage similar opportunities. Although the awarded contract was designated suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), it ultimately went to Lucion Services Limited, a large-scale firm. This indicates that while SMEs might be eligible, competition from larger, well-established companies remains significant.
