Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the Corporate Officer of the House of Commons in collaboration with the Corporate Officer of the House of Lords involved the provision of IT skills training via the G-Cloud 14 Framework. The focus was on training services within the broader category of services for delivery in the UK. This process, identified under OCID ocds-h6vhtk-05eb70, is listed as complete, with an awarded contract to QA LIMITED on 13th October 2025. The procedure followed a 'limited' procurement method, executed without prior publication of a call for competition, ensuring direct award capabilities under the stipulated framework.

This procurement creates substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in IT and training services, particularly those capable of engaging with government frameworks like G-Cloud. The process showcases significant growth potential for companies already included on the framework, allowing them to leverage their presence for direct award opportunities. Firms with advanced IT training solutions and competitive pricing strategies are exceptionally well-suited to compete in such procurements, as demonstrated by QA LIMITED, the successful supplier awarded the contract valued at £850,000. Such contracts often come with extensions, providing potential for sustained business with governmental institutions.
