UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work & Pensions procured postgraduate education services from King’s College London. The requirement was for postgraduate offers delivered through blended learning, covering four delegates. The service is classified as staff training and is intended to support the department’s workforce through postgraduate study rather than general training provision. Delivery covered locations across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is therefore relevant to universities, higher education providers and specialist organisations able to deliver structured postgraduate learning to public-sector staff across multiple English locations.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to King’s College London on 3 September 2026. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under a single completed lot. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 January 2027. Its value is £11,099 excluding tax, or £13,318.80 including tax. The requirement was evaluated and awarded as a postgraduate blended-learning service for four delegates. The process was handled for the Department for Work & Pensions, with SSCL involved in processing the requirement. The award remains active and the contract is active.

This award demonstrates demand from the Department for Work & Pensions for postgraduate blended learning delivered to a small, defined group of staff across England. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would be higher education institutions or specialist postgraduate training providers with established academic programmes, suitable teaching and learner-support arrangements, and the ability to combine online and in-person learning where required. Credibility would also depend on delivering a coherent postgraduate offer for public-sector delegates, coordinating provision across several English locations, and managing enrolment and delivery for a small cohort. Organisations able to provide staff training alongside recognised postgraduate education would be more closely aligned with this buyer’s demonstrated requirement than general training suppliers.
