Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health & Social Care (DHSC), operating from London, undertook a direct procurement process below the threshold, which did not involve competition, to deliver a Senior Executive Programme for the fiscal year 2025/26. The contract titled "DHSC - GOps - Senior Executive Programme" focuses on training services, within the services industry category, aimed at preparing individuals for senior government roles. The contract, awarded to the London Business School, commenced on 8th September 2025 and is set to conclude on 14th November 2025, with a total contract value of £40,300. This procurement process, having reached the award stage, was officially contracted on 2nd August 2025.

This opportunity presents a significant growth avenue for educational institutions specialising in executive training and development. Organisations with expertise in bespoke senior leadership programmes will find such tenders well-aligned with their service offerings. While the direct procurement method precluded open competition in this instance, businesses with strong connections in government contract networks could potentially capitalise on similar procurement opportunities in the future. Such contracts provide valuable engagement with central government entities, allowing suppliers to showcase their capabilities and potentially pave the way for further collaborations.
