Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has recently awarded a contract for the "Training Assessment Quality Assurance" project to Workforce Development Trust. This project pertains to the staff training services industry, specifically focusing on delivering training, assessment, countersigning, and quality assurance (TAQA) at levels 3 and 4. The contract, valued at £1,650,000, commenced on 21st August 2023 and will run until 20th August 2025. The procurement process was direct, involving a single tender action (below threshold), and included delivery addresses spanning various locations including the United Kingdom and international territories.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in training and education services, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality assessment and quality assurance programs at advanced levels. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly suitable to compete for similar opportunities given the procurement method and the specific needs of the Ministry of Justice. Engaging in such contracts not only provides financial gain but also enhances reputational standing within the public sector.
