Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Outplacement Services 2026" was conducted by the Home Office, based in London, England. This tender, valued at £750,000, falls under the services category, specifically focusing on career guidance services, classified under CPV code 79634000. The procurement method was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The key contractual period is from 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2028, and the award stage concluded with the status marked as complete on the 19th of June, 2026. This procurement covers a wide geographical scope including British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and the Rest of the World.

This contract presents significant opportunities for specific businesses, particularly those experienced in career transition and outplacement support services. Large-scale entities familiar with handling broad geographic contracts and possessing a robust framework structure are well-suited for such tenders. While this procurement does not target SMEs or VCSEs, larger organisations like Right Management Limited, which was awarded the contract, exemplify the calibre and capacity required to succeed in such selective procurement processes.
