Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence recently completed the procurement process for Asbestos Awareness Training, a project designed to enhance the competency and legal compliance of DE&S staff in asbestos management within Defence. The procurement falls under the 'Staff training services' category (CPV code 80511000) and encompasses both face-to-face and virtual training offerings across the UK. The process, initiated as a tender, was conducted using a restricted procedure, and the contract was awarded to Lucion Services Limited, a large company based in Cheshire, with a contract value of £61,000. This finalised stage commenced with the contract signing on 28th August 2025 and denotes an active award status.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in technical training services, as identified by the additional CPV classification 80531200. Businesses with expertise in both virtual and in-person training delivery would be well-suited to meet the diverse training and compliance needs of the Ministry of Defence. The opportunity also highlights the importance of competitive bid strategies that emphasize both cost and non-cost factors, as the award criteria were heavily weighted towards value for money, technical prowess, commercial considerations, and social value. With its substantial procurement budget and potential for contract options extending over two 12-month periods, this tender offers a strategic entry point for businesses aiming to expand their client portfolios within the public sector, especially in the field of Defence training services.
