Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process initiated by Lancashire County Council focuses on the provision of Social Work Degree Apprenticeship training and is classified under education and training services. The tender, identified as SG/CORP/LCC/19/855, has a total value of £1,200,000 and was published on 7 January 2019. The tendering stage is complete, having ended on 5 February 2019, with the contract period running from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2023. The selected supplier for this framework agreement is the University of Central Lancashire, located in Preston, in the North West of the UK.

This opportunity presents significant potential for organisations in the education and training sector, particularly those that are registered as MAIN PROVIDERS on the ESFA's UK Register of Learning Providers. Given the restricted procurement method, businesses that have already completed the necessary due diligence and capability assessments will find this an ideal opportunity to expand their service offerings. Companies focused on apprenticeship training and capable of delivering high-quality educational programmes would be particularly well-suited to engage in similar future contracts, contributing to the skills development landscape in the UK.
