Summary of the contracting process

The Cabinet Office, based in London, has completed a direct award procurement process for the "Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) Experience Assessment," a contract focusing on staff development services within the public authority central government sector. The procurement was carried out under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54, and the relevant contract was signed on 27th May 2026, with an expected completion date of 25th May 2029, extendable by up to 12 months. The contract is valued at £996,050 ex-VAT and is exclusively awarded to CIPD Enterprises Ltd, the sole provider capable of delivering the necessary CIPD Chartered Fellowship assessment due to its internationally recognised platform and sole intellectual property rights.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for CIPD Enterprises Ltd and highlights the niche nature of the services needed—limited to the rare expertise of awarding such professional memberships. Businesses that align with CIPD’s capabilities—particularly those involved in high-level staff development services within the broader categories of HR and professional upskilling—would benefit from this type of exclusive procurement opportunity. While CIPD is the sole provider in this instance, similar organisations with unique service offerings or intellectual property rights could leverage such procurement pathways to secure high-value government contracts.
