Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Riding of Yorkshire Council procured education and training services for delivery of the Level 6 Professional Arboriculturist apprenticeship standard to two learners. The requirement covers advanced arboriculture apprenticeship training rather than general recruitment or routine tree maintenance. Delivery is located in Yorkshire and the Humber, for learners supported by the council. The council is the buying organisation and Myerscough College is the selected training provider. The opportunity is relevant to organisations that deliver professional arboriculture apprenticeships, particularly providers able to support learners through a Level 6 standard and deliver training in or for the Yorkshire and Humber area. It may also be relevant to small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, as the procurement was identified as suitable for both organisation types.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Myerscough College on 5 August 2026. East Riding of Yorkshire Council used a direct single tender action below the threshold. The tender submission deadline was 30 June 2026 at 5pm. The awarded value is £44,000, within an estimated procurement range of £1,000 to £44,000. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2030. The requirement was evaluated through the single-tender route rather than an open competition. One award was made for the apprenticeship training service, with Myerscough College as the supplier. The contract concerns services in the education and training category and covers delivery of the specified Level 6 apprenticeship standard for two learners.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined council demand for specialist, higher-level arboriculture apprenticeship training for a very small learner cohort over a multi-year delivery period. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver the Level 6 Professional Arboriculturist apprenticeship standard, provide structured education and training for learners, and demonstrate the operational capacity to support apprenticeship delivery for a public-sector employer. Relevant organisations include specialist arboriculture training providers, further-education colleges and other providers with an established professional training offer. The buyer’s suitability assessment also indicates that smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises can be credible participants where they have the required subject expertise and delivery capability.
