Summary of the contracting process

Homes England commissioned a project leadership training course for an employee in its EPMO, sponsored by the organisation’s Head of Profession. This is a specialist personnel-training service, rather than a wider programme of project delivery or consultancy. The contract is with Cranfield Management Development Limited. Delivery is specified across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The requirement is focused on developing project leadership capability for an individual employee; the source does not describe a cohort, course syllabus or additional services.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Cranfield Management Development Limited. Homes England used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 9 November 2026 to 9 November 2027. Its value is £10,300 excluding VAT and £12,360 including VAT. The process comprised one lot, for the project leadership course. The published information does not set out evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements; the award information identifies the selected supplier and the course requirement.

For training providers, this award demonstrates a specific demand at Homes England for project leadership development for an individual employee, rather than a large-scale staff training programme. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to offer relevant project leadership training and demonstrate that its course can meet the needs of Homes England’s EPMO. The award went to an established management development provider, indicating that specialist course delivery is the core capability evidenced here. The procurement was placed directly without competition, so it does not show how Homes England would assess competing bids or which accreditations, delivery formats or qualifications it would require in a future competition. Providers whose offer is limited to general project support, rather than leadership training, are less closely aligned with this purchase.
