## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions bought specialist staff training through a Sustainable AI Engineering Course. The service is designed to build on an earlier high-level course with more technical content for people working with artificial intelligence engineering. It covers five sessions: context; measurement; model selection; inference engineering; and governance, best practice, engineering culture and new trends. Each session lasts between 90 minutes and two hours. The initial pilot is for up to 20 delegates, with the intention of bringing the course in-house as an offering. Delivery covers locations across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, the East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, the South East and the South West. This is a services opportunity in staff training (CPV 80511000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. IT Climate Ed, LLC was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The award was made on 14 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 15 September 2026 to 1 June 2027. Its value is £44,500 gross. The contract is active. The published outcome records one supplier and one service requirement. The route used was a direct award rather than an open or competitive tender, so the procurement does not provide a benchmark based on competing bids or a disclosed price comparison. The requirement is focused on technical delivery of the five-part course and its use as a pilot before potential internal adoption by the department.

This procurement indicates demand from the Department for Work and Pensions for practical, technically detailed training on sustainable AI engineering rather than general awareness training. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need credible capability across the full learning programme: explaining the context for sustainable AI, measuring impacts, selecting models, engineering inference, and covering governance, engineering culture and emerging developments. They would also need to design and deliver concise sessions lasting 90 minutes to two hours, manage a pilot cohort of up to 20 delegates, and support a transition towards an in-house course. Relevant providers are likely to be specialist AI engineering training businesses able to combine technical subject expertise with structured teaching, consistent delivery across English locations and material suitable for reuse inside a central government department.
