UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work & Pensions bought the Work Health Conversation educational package, a staff training and occupational health education service. The requirement covers delivery of the specific Work Health Conversation package by The At Work Partnership, an independent occupational health research, publishing and education organisation, working with the Society of Occupational Medicine. The package is intended for DWP Disability Employment Advisers, Health and Disability Assessors, and Partners to Work Advisers. Delivery is remote to DWP staff across England, with the buyer based in London. This is a services procurement focused on workforce learning, occupational health knowledge and practical conversations about work and health, rather than the supply of physical goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to The At Work Partnership Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise. DWP used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 2 September to 1 November 2026. Its value is £37,500 excluding VAT, or £45,000 including VAT. One lot was completed and one supplier was selected. The resulting contract is active. The package is delivered remotely over the contract period. The procurement record identifies staff training services under CPV 80511000. The published information does not set out a scored evaluation model or separate technical and price weightings for this direct award.

This procurement indicates demand from DWP for specialist occupational health learning that can be delivered remotely to a distributed workforce. Suppliers seeking comparable future work would need credible expertise in occupational health research, publishing and education, together with the ability to turn that expertise into a structured educational package for public-sector staff. Experience supporting staff who advise, assess or help people move towards work would be relevant to the subject matter. The selected model also shows the value of working with a recognised occupational medicine body, such as the Society of Occupational Medicine, where specialist authority and professional networks strengthen delivery. Providers should be able to manage remote teaching at national scale and engage several DWP staff groups consistently.
