Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured an 18-month, demand-led career transition service for eligible Ministry employees referred through its Redeployment Service. The service covers confidential one-to-one career coaching, support with CVs, job applications and interviews, workshops, digital learning and online guidance. This is a professional career guidance service, intended to help employees navigate a career transition. The requirement is for the Ministry’s workforce; no delivery location is stated. The award covers one lot and sits under a framework agreement, so this requirement was awarded through an existing purchasing arrangement rather than as an open competition.

The procurement is complete and the Ministry of Justice selected Working Transitions Limited. The award date was 16 October 2026. The award value is £150,000 excluding VAT (£180,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 26 April 2028. The procurement used a selective procedure, with the award made under a framework agreement; the call-off was not competitive. There was one lot. The available process details do not state evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements, so the award basis beyond use of the framework cannot be described.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible providers would need to deliver confidential, individual career coaching alongside practical CV, application and interview support. They would also need the capability to provide workshops and accessible digital learning and online guidance, and to respond to demand as eligible employees are referred through an internal redeployment service. The mix calls for both one-to-one coaching capacity and the ability to serve groups and online users. Experience supporting people through career transitions and handling confidential employee matters would be directly relevant to the service described. This award also shows that the Ministry buys this work through a framework route, so suppliers seeking similar work from this buyer would need to be positioned to compete through an applicable framework.
