Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process by the Department for Education, located in London, culminated in the awarding of a contract for the CSaP Policy Fellowship to the University of Cambridge. This contract, part of the education and training services industry category, addresses a new requirement managed by the renowned university. The procurement stage is at the Award phase, with the contract being signed on 17 March 2025. This limited procurement method project was conducted under a "below threshold - limited competition" framework and encompasses a service period from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. The total contract value is £43,200 including VAT, aligning with legal obligations under the UKPGA 2023/54 legislation.

This opportunity offers substantial growth potential for businesses aligned with education and training services, particularly those with expertise in nurturing policy fellowships and partnerships within higher education settings. While the contract was awarded to a large-scale entity, akin to the University of Cambridge, the nature of this tender suggests potential for businesses either directly involved in similar educational services or those providing auxiliary support services. Such business opportunities are especially suitable for entities equipped to handle collaborative initiatives between governmental departments and academic institutions.
