## Summary

The Home Office commissioned a bespoke strategic command and capability assurance programme for Border Security Command (BSC). It is designed to prepare 10–12 Maritime Duty Grade 6 personnel to take part in an on-call strategic command rota. The work is specialist staff training and capability development, rather than a general training course. The programme supports the operational readiness of BSC’s maritime command staff. The contract is with the Home Office; the source describes the personnel and programme but does not identify a delivery location.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to The Workforce Development Trust, which also signed the contract. The Home Office used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026 and runs from 14 October 2026 to 28 February 2027. Its value is £51,480 excluding VAT and £61,776 including VAT. The stated programme objective is to prepare 10–12 BSC Maritime Duty Grade 6 personnel for an on-call strategic command rota from 1 November 2026. The procurement was organised as one lot. No award evaluation criteria are set out in the available process details.

For suppliers tracking the Home Office’s demand, this award shows a requirement for bespoke, specialist development of experienced maritime command personnel, focused on strategic command readiness and participation in an on-call rota. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to demonstrate the ability to design and deliver tailored capability assurance for a small cohort of senior operational staff, with training aligned to the responsibilities of a command role. Relevant experience in specialist staff development and preparing personnel for on-call strategic leadership would be pertinent. The Home Office awarded this requirement directly without competition, so the award does not establish a competitive evaluation model or published selection criteria for future work.
