UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured global business services training for its Shared Services Capability Team. The service is intended to strengthen capability across global business services and prepare the team to support existing services, procure new services and transition to transformed shared services. Training covers practical knowledge and industry-recognised accreditation relevant to human resources, finance, commercial activity and service management. This is a professional training service, classified under personnel-training services. Delivery is for the Ministry of Justice’s shared services function in the United Kingdom, with the buyer based in London. The requirement is focused on organisational capability and accredited learning rather than general staff development or routine training provision.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. The Ministry of Justice signed the contract with The Hackett Group Ltd on 19 August 2026. The contract runs from 30 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £30,000 excluding VAT and £36,000 including VAT. One award covers the training service, and the contract is active. The selected supplier is The Hackett Group Ltd, a London-based organisation. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than an open or competitive tender, so the published outcome records the appointment and commercial terms rather than a competitive bid comparison.

This outcome shows demand from the Ministry of Justice for specialist global business services capability-building delivered through accredited training. Suppliers seeking similar work would need credible expertise across HR, finance, commercial functions and service management, together with the ability to provide practical knowledge that can be applied to shared-services operations. Industry-recognised accreditation is an important part of the requirement, so relevant awarding-body relationships, qualified trainers and demonstrable course quality would strengthen a future proposition. Experience supporting existing services, service procurement and transitions to transformed shared services would also be relevant. The route used here indicates that below-threshold, targeted requirements may be addressed directly, making established relationships, clear public-sector capability and a focused offer commercially important.
