Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has concluded the procurement process for delivering the Artificial Intelligence Level 7 Apprenticeship (ST0763) to its employees, spanning various regions in the United Kingdom including Scotland, Wales, and England, as well as its London headquarters. Categorised under staff training services, this process involved a call-off from a framework agreement (RM6102) and utilised a selective procurement method. The awarding stage was completed, with the contract awarded on 18th March 2026 and scheduled to commence on 1st April 2026, expiring on 8th June 2026. The total value of the contract amounts to £1,335.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in professional training services, particularly those proficient in delivering advanced apprenticeship programmes within the domain of artificial intelligence. As the process was executed through a framework, it suits entities comfortable with such procurement methods, although it is not tailored for small and medium enterprises or voluntary, community, and social enterprises. The awarded supplier, QA Limited, exemplifies a business well-suited to utilise such opportunities, demonstrating capabilities in meeting the educational and training needs of large organisations like the DWP. Businesses focusing on scalable and quality-driven training methods could benefit similarly from engaging in similar procurement opportunities.
