Summary of the contracting process

The British Transport Police Authority commissioned tailored staff training: three sessions of Strategic AI for HR 2.0 and one Organisational Design & Development Programme session. This is a professional training services requirement, rather than a general training package, and the named courses focus on applying artificial intelligence in human resources and organisational design and development. Delivery is across England, Scotland and Wales, covering the listed regions of Great Britain. The buyer is the British Transport Police Authority. The training was procured as one lot, bringing both programme elements together under a single contract.

The procurement is complete and awarded to CIPD Enterprises Ltd, with the contract signed on 25 September 2026. The award date was 14 September 2026. The contract runs from 26 September 2026 to 25 September 2027; the award records a service period from 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2027. The contract value is £32,160 excluding VAT (£38,592 including VAT). The buyer used a direct award below the threshold, without competition. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier but does not set out an evaluation basis or detailed participation requirements. The single lot covered both training programmes.

This award shows demand from the British Transport Police Authority for tailored professional development in strategic AI for HR and organisational design and development. Suppliers looking to compete for a similar requirement would need credible expertise in both subject areas and the ability to develop and deliver targeted training sessions, rather than offer only generic courses. The requirement spans several sessions and delivery across Great Britain, so a competitor would need suitable trainer capacity and the ability to serve staff across England, Scotland and Wales. The buyer used a direct award without competition for this purchase, so the award demonstrates what was bought and the chosen supplier, rather than evidence of a competitive evaluation or specific accreditation threshold.
