UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work & Pensions bought face-to-face initial and refresher training for its Surveillance Operatives, leading to a Level 2 Award in Advanced Driving and Riding Skills. The training is intended to help learners demonstrate the system of car control in practical driving, make safe progress and keep up to date with developments in the Roadcraft system. This is a staff training service (CPV 80511000), delivered across North East England, North West England, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East England and South West England.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA); the contract is active and was signed on 14 October 2026. The contract runs from 15 October 2026 to 14 January 2027. Its value is £80,000 excluding VAT (£96,000 including VAT). The requirement was procured by direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, as a single lot. The published information does not state an award date or evaluation criteria.

This award shows demand from the Department for Work & Pensions for practical, face-to-face advanced driving and riding instruction for surveillance staff, including both initial and refresher training. A credible supplier for this specific requirement would need to deliver training across the listed English regions and enable learners to demonstrate safe driving and the Roadcraft system of car control in practice. The service also needs to keep learners current with developments in that system. The buyer selected RoSPA through a below-threshold direct award without competition, so this outcome does not demonstrate a competitive evaluation or disclose particular accreditations, staffing levels or other supplier qualifications.
