Summary of the contracting process

The Cabinet Office has extended its contract with Ernst & Young LLP for the provision of learning and development services. The initial contract, which started on 6 October 2020, was set to expire on 31 October 2025. However, the term has now been extended by six months to 30 April 2026 to ensure continuity of service. The contract's maximum value has also been increased by 50%, from £130,000,000 to £195,000,000 (excluding VAT). This modification falls under the education and training services category (CPV code 80000000) and is classified as a contract variation. Key dates associated with this contract include the end of the extended contract period on 30 April 2026. The location for the delivery of these services is the United Kingdom.

This contract modification represents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in providing education and training services, particularly large enterprises given the scale of the contract. The extended contract period and increased budget offer potential for further engagements and long-term partnerships with the Cabinet Office. Companies with a proven track record in delivering large-scale learning and development programmes stand to benefit significantly from being a part of this procurement, ensuring growth and stability through continued government collaboration.
