Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice bought attendance at the IRM Business Analysis Conference for Business Analysts working across Justice Digital, Data and Science. The requirement covers 22 one-day conference tickets, providing education and training services for the Ministry’s business analysis community. The buying organisation is the Ministry of Justice, a central government department based in London. The work is connected with the Ministry’s Justice Digital, Data and Science functions, while the conference location is not stated. The selected provider, IRM UK Strategic IT Training Limited, is a large UK training business. This opportunity is therefore relevant to organisations that deliver professional conferences, business analysis training or related learning services for public sector staff.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded to IRM UK Strategic IT Training Limited. The Ministry of Justice used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026 and has an active period from 21 September 2026 to 23 September 2026. Its value is £14,767.20 excluding VAT, or £17,720.64 including VAT. The requirement was priced at £671.25 per attendee for 22 one-day tickets. There was one completed lot, covering the full requirement. The award is active and relates to education and training services. The published outcome shows a single supplier; no competitive evaluation basis is recorded for this direct procurement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a specific Ministry of Justice demand for external business analysis learning delivered through a professional conference. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide access to a suitable business analysis conference, manage ticket purchasing for a defined cohort of public sector staff, and demonstrate that the event is relevant to business analysts working in digital, data and science environments. Experience supplying training or conference services to government or other large organisations would help establish delivery reliability, while the scale indicates the ability to accommodate a group booking rather than an individual delegate. The incumbent is a large specialist IT training provider.
