Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust procured apprenticeship training and end-point assessment for five candidates: two Level 5 Data Engineer apprentices and three Level 4 Data Analyst apprentices. The requirement covers structured development in data engineering and data analysis, delivered through the Salisbury Apprenticeships Training & End Point Framework. The services are for the Trust and are delivered in Lincoln, Lincolnshire. This is a services opportunity in the business and professional services category, with the practical focus on apprenticeship provision rather than the supply of software, equipment or construction work. It would suit an apprenticeship training provider able to support both data-focused pathways and the associated end-point assessment arrangements for public-sector learners.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 1 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract period runs from 5 June 2026 to 31 December 2027. The contract was awarded on 20 June 2027 to Multiverse Group Limited for £83,000 including the stated currency of GBP. One supplier received the award. The procurement was treated as a service requirement and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The purchase covers the five apprentices described above. The available outcome information records the award and its value; the procurement route was the framework call-off rather than an open competition conducted specifically for this requirement.

This award shows a defined NHS demand for apprenticeship provision spanning both data engineering and data analysis, with enough scale to require support across two qualification levels and five learners. A credible competitor would need to deliver Level 5 Data Engineer and Level 4 Data Analyst apprenticeships, manage learner progress for an NHS organisation, and provide the required end-point assessment route through an appropriate apprenticeship framework. Providers that can combine curriculum delivery, employer liaison, learner support and assessment coordination would be well placed when this type of requirement returns. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, so a specialist training business may be competitive if it can demonstrate reliable delivery, suitable apprenticeship infrastructure and experience supporting public-sector employers with data skills development.
