Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Walsall Metro Borough Council procured senior housing and property management Level 4 apprenticeship training for its employees. The service covers a blended learning programme, combining remote teaching through Microsoft Teams with workplace-based learning, one-to-one mentoring and face-to-face sessions where appropriate. Learner support arrangements are also included. Delivery takes place for council employees at their normal places of work in Walsall. This is a training and personal development service, rather than a housing management or property works contract. The requirement is relevant to apprenticeship training providers with experience in senior housing and property management qualifications and the ability to support learners in a workplace setting.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Kingdom Academy Limited on 7 July 2026. It was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with tenders due by 6 July 2026 at 12:00. The awarded value is £27,000. The contract runs from 7 July 2026 to 29 February 2028. The selected supplier is Kingdom Academy Limited. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off process; the available award information does not set out separate quality or price weightings. The requirement was identified as a services contract and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For training providers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined council need for specialist Level 4 apprenticeship delivery in housing and property management. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need subject expertise, the systems and teaching capability to deliver effectively through Microsoft Teams, and a structured approach to workplace-based learning. Providers should also be able to offer individual mentoring, learner support and face-to-face teaching when required, while coordinating delivery around employees’ normal workplaces. The award to an SME indicates that this type of specialist training can be delivered by a focused provider rather than only by a large national organisation. Experience supporting public-sector employees would strengthen a future offer.
