Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured a training and support service to develop female digital talent in line with Justice Digital’s diversity, equity and inclusion objectives. The service is intended to onboard, train and support women into engineering roles, covering the broader digital talent development requirement rather than the supply of software or hardware. It is classified as training services and falls within the services category. Delivery is described across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The requirement therefore suits providers able to deliver training and professional development across multiple locations, particularly organisations with established digital and engineering education programmes and the ability to support participants into technical roles.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. The Ministry of Justice selected Code First Girls Ltd on 20 July 2026, with an awarded value of £74,400 including the stated currency. The contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 19 July 2028. The wider estimated procurement value is £148,800, with a minimum estimated value of £74,400. It was conducted as a selective call-off from a framework agreement, specifically G-Cloud 14 Lot 3 for Cloud Support Services, rather than as an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 2 July 2026 at 11:00. The award is recorded as active and the tender as complete. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand for structured programmes that improve the flow of female talent into digital engineering roles within a major government department. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to combine technical training with practical onboarding and continuing support, rather than offering classroom training alone. Relevant capability includes designing inclusive learning pathways, attracting and supporting women entering engineering, providing suitably experienced digital and engineering trainers, and demonstrating outcomes from talent-development programmes. Experience of working with public sector diversity, equity and inclusion objectives would strengthen a supplier’s position. Suppliers should also be able to operate through a government framework call-off route and manage delivery across the required geographical spread. An SME-scale provider can be commercially credible for this type of service.
