## Summary

The procurement process, led by Defra Commercial, sought services in the Education and Training sector, specifically for the role of Policy Officer Level 4, with a procurement stage designated as "award." The tender, classified under CPV code 80000000, was completed with a direct procurement method via a single tender action, falling below threshold limits. The contract was awarded on 29th January 2026, with its period running from 20th January 2026 to 20th July 2027. Though the services are based in London, they are also relevant to multiple international locations, including the UK and British Overseas Territories.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses involved in providing education and training services, especially those that qualify as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). The direct procurement method and single tender action suggest a potentially less competitive environment, benefiting businesses that can quickly engage in government contracts without extensive competition. Suppliers like JGA Group, the awardee, typify organisations well-suited to fulfilling such governmental training requirements, thereby facilitating growth for enterprises in this domain.
