UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Open University procured organisational training for its users, classified as personnel-training services. The requirement covers services rather than goods or construction, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is The Open University, a public authority based in Milton Keynes. The procurement comprised one lot, covering the full organisational training requirement. The selected supplier, Roffey Park Institute Limited, is an SME based in Horsham and specialises in organisational development and training. This opportunity is therefore relevant to providers of workplace, organisational or personnel training services able to support users of a UK public-sector university.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Roffey Park Institute Limited. The procedure was below threshold, with the specific method recorded as unknown, and the tender status is complete. The contract was signed on 14 May 2026 and ran from 14 May 2026 to 22 July 2026. Its gross value was £30,048. The contract remained active in the published outcome. The award covered the single lot and personnel-training services for delivery in the United Kingdom. The recorded supplier was Roffey Park Institute Limited, and the contract value was below the relevant threshold.

This procurement provides a clear reference point for suppliers targeting The Open University’s organisational training requirements. A credible competitor would need to deliver structured training for an organisation’s users, with capability in personnel or workplace development rather than general education, recruitment or unrelated consultancy. The selected provider was an SME, indicating that the requirement was suitable for a specialist training business rather than only a large national contractor. Providers with a focused organisational-development offer, experience supporting institutional users and the operational capacity to deliver training across the United Kingdom would be well placed to assess similar requirements from this buyer when the established contract period ends.
