Summary of the contracting process

The contract for the provision of Health and Safety Advisory Services has been awarded through an open procurement procedure by Outwood Grange Academies Trust, a sub-central government public authority based in Wakefield, United Kingdom. The contract was finalised with Howden Group Holdings Limited, a large enterprise situated in London, United Kingdom. The procurement process began with planning and market engagement in July 2025, followed by a tender notice in December 2025, before moving to the award stage in February 2026. The contract was actively signed on the 13th of March 2026 and is set to run until March 2028, with an option for extension up to March 2030. These services are expected to cover multiple regions, including UKC, UKD, UKE, and UKF.

This tender offers business growth opportunities, particularly for large enterprises specialising in health and safety consultancy services. Companies looking to expand in the health and safety industry can benefit from the contract's significant scale and the potential for contract renewal by Outwood Grange Academies Trust. With a contract value set above the threshold at GBP 264,000, businesses aligned with providing competent advisory services can leverage this opportunity to enhance their market presence across several regions in the United Kingdom. Consequently, firms with expertise in consultancy services and fulfilling regulatory requirements would be well-suited to compete in future such tenders managed by educational or similar public authority organisations.
