## Summary

The Department for Work & Pensions commissioned staff training services titled Applying Metrics for Predictability. The course supports the department’s Capability Strategy by developing practical skills in data-driven delivery, evidence-based decision-making and Agile ways of working. Its subject matter includes Lean-Agile metrics, flow analytics, forecasting and risk management, helping delivery teams and leaders make better-informed decisions about planning, prioritisation and delivery risks. The training is intended to improve forecasting accuracy, support continuous improvement and contribute to high-performing digital teams. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The procurement was processed by SSCL for the department.

This procurement is complete and was awarded to ProKanban. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026, with delivery scheduled from 1 October 2026 to 30 November 2026. Its value is £11,000 excluding VAT and £13,320 including VAT. The award was made through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition, rather than an open tender. There was one completed lot covering the training requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The published evaluation outcome identifies ProKanban as the selected supplier. The requirement was classified as staff training services, with the procurement focused on a defined course for capability development in Lean-Agile measurement, forecasting, flow analysis and delivery risk management.

This award indicates demand from the Department for Work & Pensions for specialist training that connects Lean-Agile delivery practices with measurable evidence and forecasting. Suppliers would need credible expertise in Agile ways of working, flow metrics, delivery analytics, forecasting and risk management, together with the ability to turn those subjects into practical learning for digital delivery teams and leaders. Experience supporting evidence-based decision-making, planning, prioritisation and continuous improvement would be directly relevant. A strong future competitor would be able to demonstrate clear training content, knowledgeable instructors and an understanding of how delivery performance data is used in a large central government environment. The requirement also suits providers able to deliver consistently across England and support capability development rather than one-off technical instruction.
