Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office procured a distance-learning training programme for 10 employees studying the Level 6 NEBOSH National Diploma in Health and Safety. This is a professional health and safety education service delivered online, classified under e-learning services (CPV 80420000). The requirement is intended to support employees through a recognised advanced diploma-level course rather than to supply physical goods or construction works. The selected provider is The Rapid Results College Ltd, trading as RRC International, a London-based small and medium-sized enterprise. The buyer is the Home Office, a central government department. The learning service is delivered remotely, so the requirement is relevant to training providers with suitable online course delivery, learner support and arrangements for employees undertaking the qualification.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. The sole award went to The Rapid Results College Ltd trading as RRC International. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2031. Its value is £16,702.50 excluding VAT, or £18,903 including VAT. The award covers one requirement: the distance-learning NEBOSH National Diploma in Health and Safety programme for 10 Home Office employees. The contract remains active. This outcome shows that the Home Office selected a single specialist provider through a non-competitive route for a defined staff training requirement, rather than running a multi-supplier competition or dividing the work between several providers.

This procurement indicates demand from the Home Office for structured online delivery of advanced occupational health and safety training to a defined employee group. Suppliers best placed to compete for a comparable requirement would be specialist training organisations able to provide the Level 6 NEBOSH National Diploma, manage distance-learning delivery and support learners throughout a long programme. Credibility would depend on demonstrable capability in health and safety education, reliable online learning systems, learner administration and access to appropriately qualified tutors or advisers. Providers should also be able to organise enrolment and ongoing support for multiple public-sector employees as a coherent programme. The award to an SME shows that a supplier does not necessarily need to be a large organisation, but must be able to deliver the specified qualification consistently at organisational scale.
