## Summary

The Department for Education procured cyber security education and training services through a £25,000 voucher for SANS cyber security courses. The training covers multiple focus areas relating to cloud deployment and the secure operation of systems in or on cloud environments. Delivery spans the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West of England. The requirement is for services rather than goods or construction works, and is relevant to training providers, cyber security specialists and organisations able to deliver structured professional development in cloud security and secure operations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 14 July 2026 to SANS TRAINING - UK LIMITED. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 7 July 2026 at 5:00pm. The awarded value is £25,000, and the contract runs from 14 July 2026 to 13 July 2027. The award is active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The contract is for one requirement covering the listed training services, with the award made to a single supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from the Department for Education for specialist cyber security training focused on cloud deployment and secure cloud operations. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need recognised expertise in SANS cyber security courses, the ability to cover several cloud-security focus areas, and sufficient trainers or delivery capacity to support learners across a wide spread of English regions. Providers with established professional training operations, strong technical knowledge of cloud environments and experience delivering structured cyber security education would be well placed. The requirement is also relevant to SMEs that can deliver specialist training at a national or multi-region scale.
