## Summary

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) purchased ITIL Foundation training for its staff, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd managing the procurement. The requirement covered ITIL Version 5 Foundation training delivered as a virtual course, together with digital learning materials and examination fees. The work is professional training services, rather than a supply of standalone learning content or examinations. Delivery was for UKRI in the United Kingdom; the course was to be taught online, so the training did not depend on attendance at a specified physical venue. The scope combines instruction, course materials and exam costs in one training requirement, making providers able to deliver the complete learning and assessment package directly relevant. UKRI is a central government research and innovation body, buying through its shared service provider.

The procurement is complete: a supplier was selected and the contract is active. UKRI awarded the single lot to BEST PRACTICE CONSULTING (UK) LIMITED, and the contract was signed on 18 October 2026. The contract period runs from 19 October to 1 December 2026. Its value is £18,512 excluding VAT (£22,214.40 including VAT). The requirement was procured through a below-threshold limited competition. The published procurement information does not set out an evaluation formula or detailed eligibility conditions, so no specific scoring basis or qualification threshold can be reported. The award covered ITIL Version 5 Foundation training, digital learning materials, examination fees and virtual trainer delivery. The contract is for a short, defined training engagement rather than an ongoing training framework.

For suppliers considering comparable future UKRI training requirements, this award demonstrates demand for an end-to-end ITIL Foundation course, not training delivery alone: the successful provider was responsible for virtual instruction, digital learning resources and examination fees as a combined package. A credible competitor would need trainers capable of delivering ITIL Version 5 Foundation content online, reliable digital course materials, and the ability to arrange and include the associated examinations. The requirement was a focused, short-duration engagement, so providers should be able to coordinate teaching, materials and assessment within a compact delivery programme. UKRI used a limited competition below the threshold, making experience in supplying public-sector training through a competitive procurement route relevant. The award went to a specialist consulting and training supplier, indicating that a provider with demonstrable ITIL training delivery capability and the operational capacity to manage the complete course package is well placed.
