Procurement Method Details
Direct award
Why this procedure was chosen
This direct award to PeopleCert is justified under the Procurement Act 2023, Section 41(1)(b), which allows a contracting authority to award a public contract without advertising where: "the contract can only be supplied by a particular supplier for technical reasons, or because of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights." a) Exclusive Intellectual Property Rights PeopleCert is the exclusive owner of the intellectual property for PRINCE2®, following its acquisition of Axelos. This includes all courseware, examination content, certification frameworks, and trademark rights. No other provider may legally replicate or certify against PRINCE2® without direct authorisation from PeopleCert. b) Sole Awarding Body PeopleCert is the sole global awarding body authorised to deliver PRINCE2® certifications. While third-party training organisations may be accredited to deliver training, all examinations, marking, and certification are exclusively administered through PeopleCert systems and under its control. c) No Reasonable or Lawful Alternatives Because of PeopleCert's exclusive legal control over PRINCE2®, there are no other providers capable of lawfully delivering both the training and valid certification. Any attempt to procure this service from a non-approved source would result in unaccredited training and invalid certification.
