## Summary

The Home Office is currently in the tender stage for establishing a "Security Advisory and Training Framework" to advance its International Strategy and Capabilities Unit (ISC). This multi-supplier framework aims to support the ISC Unit by procuring advisory, training, and turnkey international capability-building services. There are three lots available: Advisory, Training, and Turnkey services. Businesses have until 1 May 2026 to submit their Procurement Specific Questionnaires (PSQ) via the Home Office e-Sourcing portal. Shortlisted suppliers will proceed to the Invitation to Tender (ITT) stage, followed potentially by an interview stage and final contract awards. The framework expects to yield gross value up to £144,000,000 across the lots, and will commence services in the UK and worldwide locations as required, preferring competitive flexible procedures structured in defined stages to ensure proportionate and effective procurement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the advisory, training, and turnkey service sectors. Companies specialising in public-order services, safety consultancy, crisis management, and accommodation management may find this framework particularly beneficial for expansion, especially those with international delivery capabilities. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the framework accommodates suppliers from diverse backgrounds. The procurement process favours those with robust financial standing, technical expertise, and experience in security and international programme deliveries. Businesses submitting proposals now have the chance to become a key part of the Home Office's strategic endeavours, serving critical public and international security needs, thereby fostering substantial business growth potential.
