## Summary

The Ministry of Defence procured education and training services for the delivery of three critical security training courses at Southwick Park, near Andover in England. The courses support Defence capability and are intended to ensure compliance with Ministry of Defence security policies and standards. The requirement covers security training rather than physical security, equipment or construction works. The procurement is categorised under CPV 80000000, education and training services, and is delivered in the South West of England. It is a Ministry of Defence requirement for suppliers able to provide a coordinated programme of three security-focused courses in a Defence setting and aligned with the department’s operational policies and standards.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 24 August 2026 to Woodlands International Ltd (trading as Emerging Risks Global). The award value is £603,000. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 1 November 2029. It was conducted as a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, with submissions due by 22 July 2026 at 5pm. The award was made for the complete three-course security training requirement. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. The requirement was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The procurement category was services.

This award demonstrates sustained Ministry of Defence demand for specialist security training delivered over a multi-year period at Southwick Park. A future competitor would need to design and deliver three critical security courses as a coherent service, with content and delivery suitable for Defence personnel and environments. Credibility would depend on showing that training is aligned with Ministry of Defence security policies and standards and contributes directly to maintaining Defence capability. The selected supplier was classified as a large organisation, while the opportunity was not considered suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community or social enterprises. Suppliers preparing for a similar requirement should therefore be able to demonstrate substantial delivery capacity, relevant security-training expertise and the organisational scale to manage the full programme.
