Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport, located in London, has awarded a contract for the 'TROO0482 Driver Training' project, focusing on advanced driver training services. This procurement process falls under the service industry category and aims to enhance driving skills through a fast-track advanced driver course. The contract, valued at £35,805 excluding VAT, was awarded to IAM Roadsmart, based in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire. The procurement was initiated through a direct method, specifically below the threshold without competition, and is now in the contract award stage. The contract period is set to commence on 12th January 2026 and conclude on 11th January 2027, with a potential renewal option if the service remains required. Key documents were published on 4th December 2025, marking significant updates to the process.

This contract offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialised in training services to explore partnerships with government entities. Companies with expertise in delivering advanced driving courses, particularly those with a strong presence in the UK, could benefit from this engagement. The lack of competition associated with this direct award could offer insights into developing industry relationships and understanding government procurement methods. It is particularly suited for large-scale service providers who can accommodate regional delivery within the UK. Businesses looking to enhance their profile as suppliers within the public sector can build a strategic footing through similar opportunities.
