UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions bought enterprise excellence master class training services for its leaders and staff. The workshops are intended to help participants understand organisational excellence, define what excellence means for DWP, shape systems and behaviours that support sustainable improvement, and strengthen leadership impact. Delivery is based on the Enterprise Excellence Model, which is used by organisations seeking sustainable results. The requirement covers two-day workshops, with online and face-to-face delivery options. Each cohort can include up to 12 delegates, with provision for up to 48 delegates in total. The training is delivered across England, including London and the English regions. This is a staff development and leadership improvement requirement rather than general training or consultancy.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold purchase. S.A. PARTNERS LLP was selected for the single lot. The award was made on 14 September 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract runs from 15 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £54,000 excluding VAT, or £64,800 including VAT. The contract is active. The purchase was made under the Procurement Act 2023. The published requirement describes delivery through two-day master classes, with online and face-to-face options, but the award information does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or competing tenderers. The buyer is the Department for Work and Pensions.

This award shows that DWP uses external providers for structured enterprise excellence and leadership development at a modest programme scale. Suppliers seeking similar work would need to deliver practical, model-based training that helps leaders define excellence, improve organisational systems and behaviours, and sustain better performance. Credibility would come from demonstrable experience of applying an enterprise excellence framework with organisations, rather than offering purely theoretical leadership teaching. Providers should be able to run concise two-day workshops for small cohorts, support a programme serving several cohorts, and deliver consistently through both online and face-to-face formats. The requirement also favours suppliers able to work with a central government department and adapt the content so that organisational excellence is meaningful to the buyer’s own operating environment.
