## Summary

The procurement process undertaken by Dixons Academies Trust, a public authority under the sub-central government classification, involves a direct award to Crescent Purchasing Limited. This is for the provision of procurement consultancy services across multiple regions in the United Kingdom, under the title "Procurement Support". Initially announced with a legal basis in UKPGA 2023/54, the award contract is valued at £272,400. The contract period is set to start on 1st February 2026, running until 31st August 2027, with the potential for two additional 12-month extensions. This process is currently in the award stage, with a future contract signature anticipated by 19th November 2025, following the standstill period ending on the same date.

This tender presents significant opportunities for large procurement consultancy firms, especially those with capabilities to provide services across diverse regions in the UK and to liaise with educational bodies like academies. Given the contract's above-threshold value and comprehensive regional coverage, businesses well-suited to compete are those that can ensure continuity and high quality of service across different locations, potentially expanding their footprint in public sector contracts. The procurement method rationale indicates an extension of existing services, underlining the trust’s aim for consistent and reliable support, making it particularly relevant for vendors experienced in long-term educational partnerships.
