Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office has announced an extension under the current terms for the concession of the Secure English Language Testing (SELT) service. This contract, titled "SELT 2019 - ROW (PEL & PSI) - Contract Extension 2024", falls under the industry category of Test and Evaluation (CPV 73430000). The procurement process follows an open procedure above the threshold. The contract covers multiple locations: British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the rest of the world, and the United Kingdom. The contract commenced on 4 November 2019 and is set to conclude on 3 November 2026. The award update was issued on 28 November 2024, with the award date being 9 October 2024, and the contract value totalling £19,317,364.80 GBP.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses within the test and evaluation industry to support and deliver secure English language testing services across various regions. While the contract has primarily been awarded to Pearson Education Ltd, the open and competitive nature of the procurement method suggests similar opportunities could arise, offering growth potential for large-scale service providers. SMEs and VCSEs would need to note their suitability criteria, as this particular contract does not favour small or voluntary sector enterprises. However, collaborating with larger firms or positioning as subcontractors could also serve as strategic entry points into such significant government contracts.
