Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London commissioned diversity and inclusion foundation training services. The work covers designing and developing a refreshed Diversity and Inclusion Foundation Learning Programme and a Sexual Harassment Awareness Learning Programme. It is a training and learning programme development requirement, rather than a general training contract. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom; no more specific location is given. The requirement was organised as a single lot. It is relevant to learning and development providers with expertise in developing workplace diversity and inclusion programmes, including sexual harassment awareness learning, for a large transport organisation.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to ASK EUROPE LIMITED. Transport for London used a below-threshold limited competition. The award is recorded as active, and the contract is also active. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and runs from 9 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £80,230 excluding VAT (£96,276 including VAT). The competition comprised one lot, covering the training programme design and development requirement. The published process data does not set out evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements, so the award basis beyond the limited competition cannot be described.

This award shows that Transport for London purchases tailored learning programme design and development for workplace diversity and inclusion, including sexual harassment awareness. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate the ability to refresh and develop foundation-level learning programmes, with subject expertise spanning both diversity and inclusion and sexual harassment awareness. The supplier would need the capacity to deliver the design and development work within a focused, single-lot engagement for a large transport organisation. ASK EUROPE LIMITED, an SME, won this contract, showing that this scale and scope can be delivered by an SME. The procurement route was a limited competition below the relevant threshold, so suppliers would need to be positioned to compete through a restricted invitation process rather than assume an open tender.
