Summary of the contracting process

The recent contract award by Defra Commercial, located in London, pertains to the tender titled "MMO CEO SCS2" under the industry category of staff training services. The procurement process reached its award stage on 3rd July 2025, with the contract running from 1st July 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement method was a direct, single tender action below the threshold, inviting organisations with small and medium enterprises (SME) or voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) suitability. While Defra Commercial acted as the buying organisation, Saxton was selected as the supplier for locations extending across the United Kingdom, its overseas territories, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, and beyond Europe.

This contract offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in providing staff training services, particularly those already equipped to serve a wide geographic distribution. The direct procurement method implies that businesses already recognised by the buying organisation have a tactical advantage. Enterprises that can demonstrate excellence in customised training solutions, and those with a strong local and international presence, are well-suited to compete in such tenders. The focus on SME and VCSE-compatible businesses suggests a preference for agile, innovative, and socially responsible organisations.
