UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work & Pensions procured virtual delivery of the Applying Flow Metrics for Scrum course for colleagues in Agile Scrum delivery teams within its Delivery Practice. The training is intended to build capability in using Flow Metrics, flow analytics and forecasting techniques to support sprint planning, delivery predictability, workflow management and continuous improvement. Its purpose is to help teams make more effective, data-driven decisions and improve service outcomes and delivery performance. The requirement covers staff training services for 18 delegates, delivered virtually to participants across England. This is a specialist professional development and Agile delivery training requirement, rather than software implementation, general management consultancy or in-person classroom provision.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. ProKanban was awarded the contract on 19 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 20 August 2026 to 1 December 2026. Its value is £11,100 excluding VAT and £13,320 including VAT. The award is for one completed lot, covering the full course requirement. The recorded outcome is an active contract with ProKanban as supplier. The course was planned to commence in October or November 2026, while the contract period begins earlier to cover the contractual arrangement. The stated procurement category is services, evaluated through a direct, non-competitive route rather than competing bids.

This outcome identifies a buyer with a defined need for specialist training that connects Scrum delivery with measurable flow performance. Suppliers well placed for a comparable requirement would need demonstrable expertise in Flow Metrics, flow analytics, forecasting and the practical application of these techniques to sprint planning, predictability, workflow management and continuous improvement. Credible delivery would also require experience training Agile Scrum teams, adapting content for an organisational Delivery Practice and supporting data-driven service improvement. The requirement favours providers able to deliver effective virtual instruction to a group of delegates across England, with sufficient subject-matter depth and teaching capacity for a public-sector audience. A relevant track record in professional Agile training and practical capability development would strengthen a future competitor’s position.
