UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work & Pensions, located in London, United Kingdom, orchestrated a procurement process titled "Spotlight Annual Subscription 25-26" under the industry category of public authority - central government. The tender focuses on staff training services, and the procurement stage has reached contract termination as of 20 April 2026. This process follows a direct procurement method below the threshold, without competition, and initially aimed to implement services from December 2025 to March 2026 with a final contract value of £56,000. The termination announcement was published through Find a Tender Service.

This tender represents considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in training services to expand their portfolio within the public sector, appealing primarily to organisations capable of delivering staff training solutions efficiently. Both small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations could find this type of tender suitable, given its nature and scope as previously awarded contracts suggest. Engaging with such government contracts enhances visibility and credibility within the industry while building long-term professional relationships with large government departments like the Department for Work & Pensions.
