UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Women into Leadership 2026" conference has been completed. The Department for Work & Pensions, located at Caxton House in London, acted as the buying organisation. This contract falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on staff training services. The procurement method used was direct, carried out below the threshold without competition. The process commenced on 20th March 2026, with the award and contract being signed on 13th July 2026, and it was finalized from 15th to 16th July 2026. This event is to be held in the UK, and the buyer did not require a competitive tender process for this procurement.

This opportunity offers growth potential for businesses specialising in conference and event management, particularly those accustomed to serving public sector clients. Although the procurement process was executed without competition, suppliers like Political Engagement Limited, classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME), successfully engaged in this contract. Such opportunities can be valuable for SMEs seeking to establish or strengthen relationships with governmental bodies by providing specialised services in staff training and leadership development. Businesses with expertise in event logistics, content curation, and customer engagement would be well-suited for future similar procurement opportunities.
