## Summary

Defra Commercial procured education and training services for “Scientist Level 6 ST0626 X 10”, indicating training provision for ten Scientist Level 6 ST0626 places. The requirement sits within the education and training services category (CPV 80000000) and is classified as a services procurement. Delivery is associated with London, including the buyer’s address at 17 Smith Square, and extends across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and other locations worldwide. The buyer is Defra Commercial, the commercial function responsible for the procurement. The scope is therefore relevant to organisations delivering structured scientific training or development programmes at the specified Scientist Level 6 ST0626 level, with the ability to support learners across the stated geographical coverage.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a direct single-tender action below the threshold. The submission deadline was 28 June 2026 at 12:00. Defra Commercial awarded the contract to Tiro Training Ltd on 11 August 2026 for £270,000. The contract runs from 28 July 2026 to 28 July 2031, giving a five-year delivery period. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one awarded value. The procurement was evaluated through the selected single-tender route rather than an open competition. The recorded requirement was for services, with suitability expressly identified for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from Defra for specialist scientific training at Scientist Level 6 ST0626 level, delivered at a ten-place scale and over a substantial multi-year programme. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would be training providers with a credible scientific education offer, the expertise to deliver the specified Level 6 standard, and the operational capacity to support ten learners consistently. Experience of working with a government department or other regulated organisation would help demonstrate reliable governance, learner management and delivery assurance. Organisations that can operate across the United Kingdom and wider locations identified for the requirement would be well aligned. The procurement also indicates that SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises can be suitable supplier types for this buyer’s training needs.
