Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Electoral Commission has completed a procurement process for "DITF Training," aiming to secure a technical training solution that supports their Digital, Information Technology and Facilities team. This process falls under the "Specialist training services" category (CPV code 80510000) and covers services located in London, with the postal code EC1Y 8YZ. The procurement was conducted using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 18th June 2026, with the contract spanning from 19th June 2026 to 18th June 2027. This procurement, marked at the award stage, was officially published on 27th July 2026.

This tender provides growth opportunities for firms specialising in delivering scalable training solutions suited to the technology sector. While the procurement in question has already been awarded to Quality Assurance Ltd (QA Ltd), businesses with similar capabilities could benefit by aligning themselves with framework agreements that frequently entail similar call-off opportunities. Given the scope and industry focus, companies with expertise in specialist training services, especially those interested in large contracts within the public sector, would be ideally positioned to pursue future openings of this nature. Despite the contract being unsuited to SMEs or VCSEs, positioning within such frameworks could potentially unlock substantial business avenues.
