## Summary

The Department for Work & Pensions (DWP), a central government authority located in London, has completed a procurement process titled "ISF Membership" under the services category. This procurement, which focuses on staff training services for DWP staff, was conducted through a direct procurement method without competition, as it was below the threshold. The contract was awarded to the Information Security Forum, a large supplier also based in London. The process reached its award stage on 3rd December 2025, and the contract period is set to start on 5th December 2025, ending on 31st October 2026. The awarded contract carries a value of £20,400, of which £17,000 is the net amount. The provision will be delivered across the United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in security and staff training services. Although the procurement was conducted through a direct method that did not involve competition, businesses with expertise in similar types of service offerings should consider establishing relationships with public authorities like the DWP for potential future opportunities. Smaller enterprises and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) could be especially well-suited, considering future tenders might include broader competitive elements where their offerings and agility present an advantage.
