## Summary

The procurement process involves the Defence Medical Services, which awarded a contract titled "English Language Training" in the services industry. This contract, valued at £2,996,811, will provide English Language training for self-funding and UK-sponsored international military personnel and civilian officials. The procurement method used was selective, with the contract effective from 13 April 2020 to 4 June 2022. The tender reached its end date for submission on 9 March 2020, signalling the conclusion of the tender phase before awarding the contract to Capita Business Services Ltd on 18 March 2020.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in language services, particularly those that can offer tailored English Language training for military and governmental sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in delivering training services to diverse audiences are well-suited to compete for similar future contracts, especially given the government's demand for flexible and responsive solutions in this area. The ongoing requirements for training support may lead to further opportunities for businesses that demonstrate strong capabilities in language instruction and training delivery.

## Notice

This ENABLING CONTRACT will allow the MOD and, potentially, other Government Departments (OGDs) to call upon the services of a Supplier to deliver English Language training (ELT) to self-funding and UK sponsored international military personnel and civilian officials. ELT in support of Defence Engagement is demand-led; therefore, the requirement may vary, depending on demand. The Supplier is to maintain the capability throughout the contract to encompass existing and future ELT requirements to enable the MOD to provide a coordinated approach to the delivery of ELT as required through DCLC. Awarded.
