## Summary

The procurement process for outplacement services has recently been completed by The Pensions Regulator, based in Brighton, England. This tender falls under the career guidance services category and targeted the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from the ESPO framework agreement. The tender period ended on 26th January 2026, with the contract commencing on 23rd February 2026 and set to conclude on 22nd February 2028. Key dates include the award date, which was made active on 9th February 2026. The award value totals £50,000, and the buyer and supplier are both identified in the document.

This procurement represents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in career guidance services, particularly those capable of meeting the specific requirements of The Pensions Regulator. The contract's selective nature, drawing from a pre-established framework agreement, suggests that businesses already registered under the ESPO framework or providing robust outplacement services could benefit substantially. Given its suitability for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), this tender is a prime opportunity for SMEs to expand their operations within the United Kingdom, particularly in the South East region. The supplier, Lee Hecht Harrison Penna Limited, is a large scale enterprise, indicating the level of competition and expertise required to vie for such contracts.
