Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Apprenticeship Direct Award - (Policy)" has been completed by the Home Office, with a focus on delivering apprenticeship training services in the industry category of staff training services. The contract, valued at £180,000, covers delivery across numerous regions in the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, and London. The procurement stage is in the award phase as of 9th June 2025, with the contract running until 8th June 2028. This procurement was conducted through a direct award method, allowing for a streamlined approach in securing a supplier.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in training services, particularly those that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), as these were marked as suitable. With the Home Office as the contracting authority, companies already experienced or interested in public sector training projects could significantly benefit from this opportunity, which also holds potential for long-term engagement due to the multi-year contract period. The awarded supplier, JGA Group Limited, exemplifies an SME successfully capitalising on such governmental procurement processes.
