## Summary

The most recent update on this public procurement was the termination of a contract on 23 March 2026 by the Equality and Human Rights Commission, based in Manchester, UK. The procurement initially involved providing Microsoft 365 Training services, intended to digitally transform and improve internal collaborations while ensuring compliance. The original award for this service had been active but was mutually terminated, with no financial transaction completed. Despite this contract termination, the procurement for the Microsoft 365 Training, registered under the law UKPGA 2023/54, previously followed an open competition below the threshold and featured involvement across various UK regions for a period commencing mid-January 2026.

This opportunity was initially accessible to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and other vendors positioned within the education, training, and IT services industries. The training aimed to enhance organisational capabilities regarding Microsoft 365 applications, promoting business growth through digital skill development and efficient collaboration. Therefore, businesses offering specialised training solutions with experience in IT services and capable of delivering quality within budget constraints would have been suitably placed to compete effectively for this procurement. The prior availability to engage in open competition underscores the potential for businesses to pursue such contracts for expansion and diversification in public sector engagements.

## Notice

The Equality and Human Rights Commission is seeking to engage a suitably qualified and experienced supplier for the provision of professional training services for end-users on Microsoft 365 applications. The training will support digital transformation, improve collaboration and ensure compliance with internal governance and data handling policies.
