This contract, classified under the education and training services industry (CPV Code: 80000000), is pertinent to the United Kingdom and is valued at £223,200,000. The procurement method used was a limited negotiated procedure without prior publication, above threshold. The initial contract period was set to start on 1st August 2024 and end on 31st October 2025, but it has been extended to 30th April 2026 to ensure business continuity.

Although the Cabinet Office has selected a large-scale supplier, KPMG LLP, for this contract, it is aimed at ensuring seamless and professional delivery. Businesses capable of offering high-standard educational services, especially with an understanding of large-scale government contracts, stand to benefit and grow by participating in such prestigious projects.
