Summary of the contracting process

Telford and Wrekin Council sought a training provider to deliver the Information Communication Technician apprenticeship for a 2026 start. This is an apprenticeship training service, within education and training, rather than a purchase of equipment or an IT support contract. The named delivery location is Telford, with the item also listing wider locations including the United Kingdom and several international areas. Telford College is the selected provider. The requirement is specifically for apprenticeship delivery, so relevant suppliers are those able to provide structured training for people working towards an Information Communication Technician qualification and support delivery in Telford.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Telford College on 2 October 2026. It used a restricted procedure, meaning participation was selective. The contract period runs from 3 October 2026 to 31 December 2027. The recorded award value is £0; this is the published figure and should not be treated as an estimate of the commercial cost. The submission deadline was 24 September 2026 at 5pm. The requirement was not divided into lots. The council marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The supplied evaluation information does not describe scoring criteria, so the basis on which the provider was selected cannot be stated more precisely.

For a training provider considering comparable work with Telford and Wrekin Council, this award shows demand for an Information Communication Technician apprenticeship delivered for a 2026 cohort in Telford. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the capacity to deliver apprenticeship training in this specific occupational area and to support learners through the programme, rather than offering general IT services or unrelated courses. Telford College was selected, providing a local example of the kind of provider that secured the work. The council’s stated unsuitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises is relevant to organisations assessing whether they fit the buyer’s approach to this requirement. The award establishes the buyer, subject and selective route used for this procurement.
