UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work & Pensions commissioned Hucama PF48 psychometric assessments to support talent identification and evaluation pilots. The service measures workplace personality, motivations, behavioural tendencies and leadership-related characteristics, providing evidence-based insights into learning agility, drive, resilience, interpersonal effectiveness, decision-making style, adaptability and leadership readiness. This is a people assessment and talent evaluation service, rather than a general staff training course. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is the UK central government department responsible for work and pensions.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to PSYSOFT LIMITED. The Department used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 2 October 2026 and runs from 3 October to 31 December 2026. Its value is £40,320 excluding VAT (£48,384 including VAT). The procurement was a single lot for psychometric assessment services. The released process information identifies the assessment's purpose and coverage, but does not set out a separate evaluation basis or supplier eligibility conditions.

For future work of this kind, credible suppliers will need to provide a robust psychometric assessment that can support talent identification and evaluation pilots across a large government department. The PF48 requirement demonstrates demand for a comprehensive workplace profile covering personality, motivations and behavioural tendencies, as well as leadership-related characteristics. Suppliers should be able to generate evidence-based insight into learning agility, drive, resilience, interpersonal effectiveness, decision-making style, adaptability and leadership readiness, and deliver assessments across England. PSYSOFT LIMITED, an SME, was selected through a below-threshold direct award without competition, so the outcome demonstrates that this buyer has sourced a focused assessment service by that route; it does not establish that a competitive selection favoured any particular accreditation, technology or supplier size.
