Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions commissioned delivery of the Coaching Level 5 Apprenticeship, standard ST0809, for its employees. This is a staff training service, covering the provision of the apprenticeship rather than general training or coaching consultancy. Delivery is associated with the Department’s site at Caxton House, Tothill Street, London, and with activity across England. The requirement is therefore relevant to organisations that can provide structured Level 5 coaching apprenticeship training to public-sector employees. The buyer is the Department for Work and Pensions, and the selected provider is ioda Limited. The work sits within the professional training and apprenticeship market, with a specific focus on coaching capability and employee development.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 18 August 2026. It used a selective call-off from the RM6102 framework, rather than an open standalone competition. The tender submission deadline was 31 March 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded to ioda Limited for £5,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 2 January 2028. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement and was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The outcome is an active award to one supplier, with the contract covering delivery of the Coaching Level 5 Apprenticeship ST0809 to Department for Work and Pensions employees.

For a supplier assessing future work from this buyer, the award demonstrates a defined demand for Level 5 coaching apprenticeship delivery for Department for Work and Pensions staff. A credible competitor would need to deliver the specified apprenticeship standard in a structured way, support learners who are employees of a large government department, and provide training that meets the practical requirements of coaching development. Experience in staff training and apprenticeship delivery would be directly relevant. The route to market is also significant: this requirement was awarded through a call-off from the RM6102 framework, so organisations seeking comparable work would need access to the relevant framework route or an equivalent future purchasing arrangement. The stated SME and VCSE suitability settings indicate that scale and organisational capacity matter.
