Summary of the contracting process

The Civil Aviation Authority bought specialist training services through an Avsec eLearning platform and ITAT training. The purpose is to provide specialist training for people working in UK industry and for aircraft operating in UK airspace. This is a service requirement rather than a goods or construction contract, classified as specialist training services (CPV 80510000). Delivery covers England’s regions: the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, the South East and the South West. The buying organisation is the Civil Aviation Authority, a central government public authority based in Crawley. The requirement relates to training provision delivered across England, with relevance for providers experienced in online learning and specialist aviation-related training.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. It comprised one lot. COMUNIS LIMITED trading as ISARR was awarded the contract on 5 August 2026. The awarded value is £135,500 excluding VAT, or £162,600 including VAT. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and runs from 5 August 2026 to 4 August 2027. The contract is active. The award and contract cover the specialist training service for the eLearning platform and ITAT training. The route used was a direct award without competition, rather than an open or selective tender. The recorded supplier is a UK small or medium-sized enterprise. No separate evaluation criteria are recorded for this direct award.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from the Civil Aviation Authority for specialist training delivered through an eLearning platform, alongside ITAT training, for people working in UK industry and aircraft operating in UK airspace. A credible future competitor would need to show capability in designing, hosting or operating reliable online learning, supported by specialist training content and delivery. Experience serving aviation or other safety-sensitive regulated industries would be commercially relevant, particularly where learners work across multiple English regions. Suppliers should also be able to support organisations and individuals connected with aircraft operations and UK industry, and demonstrate sufficient capacity to deliver consistent training at national scale. The incumbent is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist provider rather than only a large systems integrator.
