Summary of the contracting process

Ordnance Survey Limited bought outplacement services for its organisation. The requirement covers business-related support for people moving out of employment, helping affected individuals prepare for and secure new work. The service was delivered across the United Kingdom. This was a service procurement rather than a supply of goods or construction works. The selected provider was Renovo Employment Group Limited, an SME based in Altrincham. The requirement was managed for Ordnance Survey, a public authority at central-government level. The procurement was organised as a single requirement, covering the full outplacement service rather than separate geographic or specialist packages. Businesses with experience delivering structured outplacement, career-transition and employment-support services for organisations of comparable public-sector profile would find the subject matter most relevant.

The procurement reached completion and the contract was awarded to Renovo Employment Group Limited through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award covered the single requirement. The contract was signed on 5 July 2025 and ran from 17 July 2025 to 16 July 2026. Its value was £30,000 excluding VAT and £36,000 including VAT. The contract was terminated on 29 July 2026 because it was completed; implementation ended on 16 July 2026. The final value was £6,705 excluding VAT and £8,046 including VAT. The published outcome therefore records both the original contract value and the lower final value paid. No award date or weighted evaluation basis is recorded for this direct, below-threshold procurement.

This outcome is useful evidence for providers of outplacement and career-transition services tracking Ordnance Survey’s buying requirements. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to support employees through organisational change, provide practical employment and career guidance, and deliver a consistent service across the United Kingdom. Relevant experience should include helping people assess their options, prepare for applications and move into new employment, with delivery that can be managed for a public-sector organisation. The awarded supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement was delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than necessarily requiring the scale of a large national outsourcing group. Providers should be able to evidence reliable case management, qualified advisers and outcomes-focused support.
