Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work & Pensions procured services associated with the Financial Reporting Council Levy 2026/2027. The recorded service classification is staff training services, indicating an administrative or professional service requirement connected with the levy rather than physical goods or construction. The buying organisation is the Department for Work & Pensions, a central government department. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The requirement was organised as a single lot and concerns services supplied for the department’s operations. Businesses specialising in staff training or related professional services may find the subject matter relevant, although the procurement record describes the requirement at a high level and does not set out a broader programme of training activity.

This procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold purchase. The Financial Reporting Council was selected as supplier on 1 April 2026. The active contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its gross value is £23,238.74, including any applicable taxes as recorded. The procurement has one completed lot and one active award linked to the contract. The purchase was evaluated through a direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The published outcome therefore records an established supplier relationship for the 2026/2027 levy-related requirement, rather than an opportunity for further bids on this contract.

This award indicates that the Department for Work & Pensions purchases specialised services connected with Financial Reporting Council levy arrangements through a below-threshold direct route. For a future requirement of the same kind, a credible competitor would need to understand levy-related public-sector administration and provide a clearly defined professional service suitable for a central government environment. Relevant capabilities may include staff training delivery, knowledge of financial reporting or regulatory requirements, and the ability to support users across the United Kingdom. Experience of working with public authorities, dependable service management and evidence of delivering accurate, compliant services would strengthen a supplier’s position. The selected supplier’s role also shows the value of combining subject expertise with a service offer tailored to a specific government requirement.
