Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education has completed a procurement process for the extension of the Test Operations Services (TOpS) contract (Con_3221), classified under the education and training services category. This contract, valued at £97,507,000, was awarded to Capita Business Services Ltd. The contract period runs from 11 July 2018 to 31 January 2026, with the award date recorded as 10 July 2018 and published on 29 July 2021. This procurement was conducted through a competitive dialogue method, specifically following a selective process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the education and training services sector, particularly for those able to deliver large-scale operations and training solutions. While the current contract is with a large supplier, companies that specialise in educational services, technology solutions, or operational support could find avenues for collaboration or future bids as similar contracts are phased out or renewed. Businesses with innovative service offerings tailored to educational institutions may also find themselves well-positioned to compete in subsequent procurement processes.
