Summary of the contracting process

Westminster City Council, based in London, sought to enhance its in-house training capabilities through a contract for "System thinking training and in-house facilitation development". The procurement falls under the services category, involving training programme services, and was conducted directly and below the threshold without competition, culminating in an award on 1st July 2026. The contract spans from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2029, with a total value of £67,761.60. The project aimed to enable Westminster City Council's staff to independently deliver the FAST programme through accredited facilitators, and the contract was awarded to ENTELECHY TRAINING LIMITED, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Swindon.

This contract presents significant opportunities for enterprises specialising in educational and training services, particularly those with expertise in system thinking and organisational development. Businesses focused on developing sustainable in-house training solutions or interested in expanding their service offerings to public authorities like Westminster City Council can benefit from similar procurement processes. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the agility to provide tailored training programmes are especially well-suited to compete in this sector, leveraging their capacity to adapt to bespoke client requirements efficiently.
