UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education bought a 12-month Women in Data membership and brand partnership from Women in Data Ltd. This is a professional membership and education and training service intended to support the department’s engagement with women in data. The buying organisation is the Department for Education, a central government department based in London. The service is delivered for the department rather than as a works or goods requirement. The scope is centred on the Women in Data membership and associated brand partnership, providing a focused opportunity for organisations that run professional networks, membership programmes, data-sector education or training, and related engagement activity. The procurement is categorised as services, with the stated service classification covering education and training services.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Women in Data Ltd. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 18 June 2026 and runs from 17 August 2026 to 17 August 2027. Its value is £12,000 excluding VAT, or £14,400 including VAT. There is one completed lot covering the full requirement, and the award is active. The contract is for the Department for Education’s 12-month Women in Data membership and brand partnership. The published outcome shows a single supplier selected and an active contract; no competitive evaluation basis is recorded because the procurement was made directly without competition.

This award indicates that the Department for Education uses a paid professional membership and brand partnership to support engagement with women in data, alongside education and training activity. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work from this buyer would need a credible women-in-data or wider data-sector network, a membership offer that can operate for a public-sector organisation, and the ability to provide structured engagement over a 12-month service period. Relevant capability would include professional community management, partnership delivery, stakeholder engagement, and education or training services focused on data. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large corporate provider.
