UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work & Pensions bought an EQ-i 2.0 360 leadership assessment programme: implementation of a digital emotional-intelligence and leadership diagnostic tool combining self-assessment with feedback from multiple raters. The programme is intended to support talent identification, leadership development and pilot activity across the department. Participants use the assessment to build self-awareness and understand their leadership strengths and development areas, while the department uses the results to inform evidence-based talent decisions. This is a staff training service delivered 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 procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Department for Work & Pensions awarded the single lot to PSYSOFT LIMITED through a direct award without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. The award date was 9 October 2026 and the contract was signed that day. The contract period runs from 10 October 2026 to 9 January 2027. Its value is £14,500 excluding VAT and £17,400 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated and awarded as one programme; the published process details do not set out separate evaluation criteria.

For a supplier seeking to compete for this requirement in future, the relevant capability is delivering and implementing a digital emotional-intelligence and leadership assessment that combines individual self-assessment with structured multi-rater feedback. The service needs to turn assessment results into useful insight for participants, including greater self-awareness and a clear view of leadership strengths and development areas. Credible suppliers should be able to support organisational talent identification and leadership development, and provide a programme suitable for pilot activity and evidence-based talent decisions across a large central government department. Delivery must be workable across multiple English regions. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this requirement was delivered by an SME; the procurement does not identify particular qualifications or accreditations.
