Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Riding of Yorkshire Council procured education and training services to deliver the Level 4 Artificial Intelligence and Automation Practitioner apprenticeship standard for four learners. The requirement covers apprenticeship delivery rather than the supply of technology or general consultancy, with the purpose of developing learners through this specific AI and automation training programme. The work is associated with the council and is to be delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses relevant to this requirement include apprenticeship training providers, further education organisations and specialist learning providers with the capability to deliver Level 4 AI and automation practitioner training to a small learner cohort.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure below the threshold, and the tender is complete. The award was made on 26 August 2026 to Learn Tech for £72,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 September 2029. The procurement’s estimated value was £72,000, with a minimum estimated value of £1,000. The tender submission deadline was 25 August 2026 at 5:00pm. The evaluation concerned delivery of the specified apprenticeship training requirement through the open procedure. There is one award and one supplier: Learn Tech. The contract is for services and relates to four learners undertaking the Level 4 Artificial Intelligence and Automation Practitioner apprenticeship standard.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement provides clear evidence of East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s demand for structured Level 4 apprenticeship training in artificial intelligence and automation. A credible future competitor would need to deliver the named apprenticeship standard, support a small cohort of four learners, and provide an education and training service suited to the council’s requirements in Yorkshire and the Humber. Providers with established apprenticeship delivery capability and specialist expertise in AI and automation are the closest fit. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller or mission-led training organisations can be relevant, provided they can demonstrate the practical capacity to deliver the full programme and meet the council’s training needs.
