Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business & Trade, based in London, has completed the procurement process for the design and delivery of two educational programmes: 'Regulation 101' and an 'Intro to Business Regulation' modular programme. This initiative falls under the education and training services industry and was conducted as an open competition below the threshold. The award, which was announced on 13th June 2025, specifies a contract running from 9th June 2025 to 30th June 2027, with Queen Mary University of London as the supplier. The primary focus of this project is on enhancing the understanding of regulatory frameworks and compliance requirements among businesses. The contracting process has advanced to the award stage, following the completion of the tender stage with a value of £35,994 gross (£29,995 net). Key legal frameworks, including the UK GA legislation from 2023, underpin this tender.

This contract presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in adult education, compliance training, or regulatory consultancy services. Organisations capable of developing educational content on regulatory topics are ideally positioned to compete in such tenders. SME education providers, especially those with expertise in modular programme design, can leverage this opportunity to build relationships and gain credibility with central government agencies. Such collaborations not only enhance reputational standing but also create opportunities for future collaboration on similar projects, considering the potential for contract renewal options.
