Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council bought training services for up to 10 Level 3 Team Leader apprenticeships for its employees. The work is to be delivered to council colleagues in the Cambridgeshire area; the listed delivery postcode is PE28 4YE. This is an apprenticeship training requirement focused on developing team leaders, rather than a general training contract. The council is the buyer and the service was awarded to Let Me Play Ltd.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. The council used a limited competitive quotation procedure below the applicable threshold. Bids were due by 5 May 2026 at 12:00, and the award was made on 5 May 2026. Let Me Play Ltd was awarded the contract for £50,000. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 1 June 2028. The requirement covers delivery of up to 10 apprenticeships. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to compete. The published procurement information does not state a separate scored evaluation basis or detailed qualification requirements.

For training providers, this award demonstrates demand from Cambridgeshire County Council for Level 3 Team Leader apprenticeship delivery for its own workforce. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to deliver structured apprenticeship training at a scale of up to 10 learners, with the capability to support employees through the Level 3 programme and serve the council’s Cambridgeshire location. The competitive quotation route and SME suitability indicate that smaller training businesses can be relevant to this type of requirement. Providers with demonstrable experience delivering team-leader apprenticeships and the capacity to support a cohort over a multi-year programme would be well placed to compete when comparable council training is next procured.
