Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education is seeking to procure an organisation for the "Top Apprenticeship Employers Rankings - Entries and Administration" for 2022, 2023, and 2024. This open tender, classified under Administration services, has a contract value of approximately £540,332 and is set to run from 1st November 2021 to 31st October 2022. The tender period closes on 11th October 2021. The contract will require the appointed organisation to develop an end-to-end application process aimed at identifying the top apprenticeship employers in England, recognizing both large employers and small to medium enterprises.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on education, recruitment, and consultancy services, particularly those with experience working with apprenticeships or labour market data. Companies with a proven track record in managing awards or rankings, as well as those that can facilitate sponsorships for events, will find themselves well positioned to compete. The initiative aims to enhance the recognition of apprenticeship providers and could potentially lead to future collaborations within the education sector.

Notice Title

Top Apprenticeship Employers Rankings - Entries and Administration - con_11990

Notice Description

The Top Apprenticeship Employers Rankings - Entries and Administration contract has now been awarded. Building on a successful test and learn event in 2020, the Top Apprenticeship Employers rankings will celebrate some of England's most outstanding apprenticeship employers, and will assist potential apprentices, parents and careers advisers to identify the best apprenticeship opportunities in England. The Department for Education will publish two Top Apprenticeship Employer rankings, one recognising the Top 100 large employers (with over 250 employees), and new for 2022 the Top 50 Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The rankings recognise England's leading apprenticeship employers for their overall commitment to employing apprentices, their creation of new apprenticeships, the diversity of their new apprentices, and the progression of their apprentices onto further apprenticeships and employment.
