UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London focused on the "DofE Training and Expedition, Full Package: Deposit" project. This contract, relevant to the youth education services industry category, covers bespoke training and expedition supervision for the Duke of Edinburgh expeditions at bronze, silver, and gold levels. Located in the City of London, the procurement stage reached completion on 25th November 2025, with the contract signed on the same date. The procurement method used was a direct approach due to it being below the threshold, thus not requiring competition. This contract has been awarded to Learn Outdoors Ltd, and the service provision will run from 18th January 2026 to 30th October 2026.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in education and outdoor training services, especially those capable of delivering tailored programmes for youth development. While this specific contract was awarded to a large-scale provider, similar future opportunities might arise, targeting small to medium enterprises capable of providing innovative and experiential learning modules. Businesses that focus on enhancing youths' skills through practical experiences and possess relevant expertise in outdoor education would position themselves well for participating in such opportunities. Additionally, maintaining awareness of such procurement processes can aid businesses in identifying trends and demands within the public sector's educational initiatives.
