UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Prosecution Service procured workplace and mediation training services for all of its internal mediators. The requirement covers designing the training materials, providing detailed written materials to the standard needed for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points, and giving ongoing advice, support and information on dispute-resolution best practice. The supplier must also evaluate development sessions and provide summary feedback to the CPS. This is a central-government requirement for the CPS, with the buyer based in London. The work is service-based rather than the supply of physical goods or construction. It is relevant to training providers with specialist expertise in workplace mediation, mediator development, dispute resolution and the production of CPD-quality learning materials. The published classification is CPV 80500000, training services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was awarded to The TCM Group, an SME, and the contract is active. The award covers one completed lot. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028, with a one-year extension option allowing a maximum end date of 30 June 2029. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT and £60,000 including VAT. The procurement used a limited procedure, described as a below-threshold limited competition. The award is below the relevant threshold. The contract is for services and is held by the Crown Prosecution Service. The available outcome shows the selected supplier and the agreed contract terms; no separate scoring or weighting basis is stated.

This award demonstrates a defined CPS need for specialist workplace and mediation training delivered to internal mediators. A credible competing supplier would need practical expertise in mediator training, workplace dispute resolution and current dispute-resolution best practice. It would also need to design a complete training offer, produce detailed written learning materials capable of supporting CPD-point accreditation, and provide continuing advice rather than a one-off course. The requirement includes evaluating development sessions and supplying concise feedback to the CPS, so providers should be able to assess learning, capture participant or session outcomes and report clearly to a public-sector client. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national training business. Strong capability across course design, written content, advisory support and evaluation would be important when this buyer next tests the requirement.
