Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), a central government public authority located at 102 Petty France, London, has completed a procurement process titled "Oracle EPM Training" under tender identification PR2026 054. The procurement, driven by the need to develop an understanding of Oracle's Planning Cloud, falls within the "services" industry category and is particularly focused in the United Kingdom. This direct award process capitalised on the schedule outlined in the Procurement Act 2023, as Keyteach Ltd, based in Stockport, was the only supplier capable of meeting the specific training requirements without necessitating costly redevelopments. The contract was scheduled to run from 9th June 2026 to 9th December 2026, with a significant date being the future signature set for 8th June 2026.

This procurement offers a unique opportunity for businesses operating within the training services sector, particularly those specialising in software applications such as Oracle Planning Cloud. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can leverage such opportunities through bespoke service offerings. Although this specific tender was directly awarded due to the technical requirements and established supplier capability, similar future contracts could provide openings for firms that excel in niche training solutions for government bodies, especially those that can innovatively expedite project timelines and offer substantial cost efficiencies.

Notice Title

Oracle EPM Training

Notice Description

There is a requirement to first gain an understanding of Oracle's Planning Cloud (E/PBCS) to enable the project team to make a more valuable contribution to the design and implementation of Oracle Planning Cloud applications, to cover all capabilities of the system and explore the interface, typical planning processes and the flow of data from source systems and to see the ways in which plan data can be adjusted, translated and aggregated within Oracle Planning Cloud before being analysed with powerful reporting tools such as Cloud EPM Reports or in Microsoft Office using Smart View.

Procurement Information

A direct award is proposed in accordance with Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023 on the basis that only one supplier is capable of delivering the requirement. Keyteach are the sole supplier in the market and have already developed bespoke training tailored to CPS requirements. Appointing an alternative supplier would require significant re-development, resulting in duplication of cost, delay, and increased delivery risk. A direct award is therefore considered proportionate and represents value for money.
