Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency, acting for the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, procured women in leadership training for its Analysis and Intelligence Assessment Directorate. This is a staff development service intended to support women’s leadership development within that directorate. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The requirement sits within central government healthcare and public health operations, so relevant suppliers are those providing structured leadership training and professional development for public-sector staff, particularly programmes focused on women’s progression into leadership roles. The named buying organisation is responsible for the requirement and uses the service for its own directorate rather than for general commercial or community delivery.

The procurement is complete and was awarded without competition as a below-threshold direct award. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and runs from 20 July 2026 to 19 July 2029, with an option to extend for up to 12 months to 19 July 2030. Partnership Media Group trading as Govnet Communications was awarded the contract. Its value is £44,100 excluding VAT, or £52,920 including VAT. The buyer may also increase the value by up to £11,025 excluding VAT, or £13,230 including VAT, subject to the stated maximum total value of £44,100 excluding VAT or £52,920 including VAT. The process had one completed lot.

This award shows that the UK Health Security Agency uses an external supplier for focused women’s leadership and staff development training within a specialist public-sector directorate. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in leadership development for women, a structured training offer, and the capacity to deliver consistently across the United Kingdom. Experience working with central government, health, public health or similarly regulated organisations would help establish understanding of the audience and operating environment. Suppliers should also be able to manage a multi-year training relationship, support participant development over time and accommodate potential changes in programme scale within the buyer’s agreed requirements.
