Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work & Pensions, a central government authority in the United Kingdom, has completed a tender process for the "Major Projects Leadership Academy." This initiative is aimed at senior responsible professionals involved in the delivery of major projects. The procurement process was undertaken through a direct award, bypassing competition for contracts below a particular threshold. The contract was awarded to Oxford Said Business School Limited. This procurement pertains to the services industry, specifically focusing on staff training services across multiple regions within the UK. The contract commenced on 26th June 2025 and concluded on 25th July 2025, with the final contract value approximating £18,985 (exclusive of VAT).

This award creates growth opportunities particularly for large educational institutions or training providers specialising in executive leadership development. Such organisations can leverage their existing networks and expertise to deliver bespoke training programmes that align with the strategic requirements of government initiatives. As the awarded contract targets senior leaders in major projects, the opportunity would be well-suited to providers who have proven capabilities in leadership training and a track record of working with public sector clients. By participating in similar procurement opportunities, businesses can expand their portfolio and gain a strong foothold in public sector training service provision.
