Located in London, United Kingdom, the procurement utilised a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement under ESPO383.25.

It was awarded on the 17th July 2026 to Premier People Solutions Ltd, with the award notice published on the same date.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), aligning with their suitability criteria. Managed Training Services demand a single Managed Service Provider (MSP) to oversee a comprehensive service, making it an ideal opportunity for businesses specialising in scalable training solutions and capable of leveraging a diverse supply chain. Suppliers proficient in providing cost-effective training options and able to engage in mini competitions within framework agreements are well-suited to excel through such procurement routes.
