## Summary

The Department for Work & Pensions procured 500 licences for the Udemy for Business online learning platform, a staff training service. The platform provides access to online learning for DWP staff. 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 requirement is for platform licences rather than a separately described training programme or in-person service. The purchase was managed for DWP by SSCL.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Udemy Inc. DWP used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 14 October 2026 and runs from 15 October 2026 to 13 December 2027. Its value is £88,000 including the stated gross amount. The purchase is one lot, covering 500 licences. The award is active and the contract is active. The published procurement information does not set out an evaluation basis or scored award criteria; the route used was a non-competitive direct award. The supplier selected was Udemy Inc., based in San Francisco.

For suppliers competing for a similar requirement from DWP, this award shows demand for a business learning platform delivered at scale across England. A credible competitor would need to provide an online platform suitable for 500 staff licences, with a catalogue and service capable of meeting an organisation-wide staff training need. Suppliers should be prepared to deliver access across multiple English regions and operate as a large-scale platform provider; the selected supplier was a large US-based company. The procurement followed a direct award without competition, so this result does not demonstrate which technical features or quality measures DWP would assess in a future competition. The opportunity is specifically for a business learning platform, rather than general staff training delivery.
