Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education commissioned services to co-design and deliver at least 12 webinars for the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel. The requirement is classified as technical computer support services, indicating a digital delivery and technical support element alongside webinar design and facilitation. The buyer is a UK central government department, based in London, and the services relate to the Panel’s work nationally. The selected supplier was Realise Europe Ltd, an SME based in Hailsham. This opportunity is relevant to organisations that can develop webinar content collaboratively, provide reliable online event delivery and support the technical operation of multiple sessions for a public-sector safeguarding audience.

The procurement has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Realise Europe Ltd was selected for the single lot, with the award recorded as active. The award and contract were dated 20 June 2026. The active contract runs from 20 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £16,920 excluding VAT, or £20,304 including VAT. The requirement covers a minimum of 12 webinars. The published procurement information does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or named award criteria, so the outcome should be understood primarily as evidence of a limited competitive route for a defined webinar delivery and technical support requirement. The contract was signed on the start date.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Department for Education for a specialist supplier able to combine webinar co-design, content development, online event delivery and technical computer support. A credible future competitor would need the capacity to plan and deliver at least 12 sessions, coordinate closely with a safeguarding-focused public body and maintain dependable virtual delivery across a programme rather than a single event. Relevant experience would include producing accessible, well-structured webinars for professional or public-sector audiences, managing speakers and session logistics, and resolving technical issues during delivery. The award to an SME also shows that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist provider with focused digital event capability and sufficient programme management capacity.
