Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office bought learning and development materials and related educational resources to support the development of professional capability. The work is classified as e-learning services and sits within the education and training materials requirement. UCL Consultants Ltd was selected to provide the service. The contracting information identifies the buyer’s address in London; it does not identify a separate delivery location.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The FCDO used a below-threshold limited competition, with the requirement arranged as one lot. UCL Consultants Ltd was awarded the contract. It was signed on 14 September 2026, with a contract period from 15 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £79,000. The award is for e-learning services. No award evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement details.

This award shows demand from the FCDO for learning and development materials and associated educational resources aimed at building professional capability. Suppliers seeking to compete for this specific requirement when it returns to market would need to demonstrate that they can develop or provide relevant educational content and resources, and deliver them in a form that supports staff learning. The selected supplier was UCL Consultants Ltd, a large organisation, indicating that a supplier with established capacity was able to serve the requirement. The procurement used limited competition, so familiarity with this buyer’s requirements and the ability to engage through a restricted competitive route would be commercially relevant. The work is a focused learning-resource service rather than a broad training or consultancy requirement.
