Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was executed by the Corporate Officer of the House of Commons in partnership with the Corporate Officer of the House of Lords, both operating as central government public authorities in London, United Kingdom. The project, titled "Procurement Excellence Programme," aimed to evaluate the UK Parliament's procurement and supply function. The process has reached the award stage as of 4th February 2026. Notably, the contract concluded with the awarded supplier, The Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply, on 1st February 2026. The contract, valued at £38,400 gross, was conducted under a direct procurement method, classified as below threshold without competition, specifically targeting services within the staff training category.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in procurement consultancy, particularly those capable of delivering high-level assessments and strategic improvements within government settings. The direct procurement method indicates an interest in niche expertise over competitive bidding. Companies experienced in providing staff training and procurement excellence assessments may find potential growth by seeking similar opportunities within governmental and public sector frameworks. Large-scale suppliers who have previously partnered with governmental bodies are well-positioned to leverage such prospects.
