Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport, a central government public authority based in London, procured a contract titled "Provision of C-Suite Programme" under the services industry category. The procurement process, initiated through a direct method specified as below threshold without competition, involved the award stage and has been marked as complete. This programme aimed to enhance senior leadership skills through an executive development initiative. The contract with KPMG was signed on 8 July 2026, with the period running from this date until 1 December 2026. The total contract value is £13,194, with a net amount of £10,995 in GBP.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly those capable of delivering leadership development programmes.

Engaging in such contracts could significantly bolster a firm's portfolio, expanding its footprint within the government services sector.
