Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Yorkshire Combined Authority procured five Level 5 People Professional apprenticeships for existing West Yorkshire Police staff. The requirement is for professional apprenticeship training, rather than general staff training, and the five places are intended for employees already working for the police force. Delivery is in Yorkshire and the Humber. The procurement was made through the YPO Framework for Apprenticeships and Associated Training, using its call-off filtering process. West Yorkshire Combined Authority is the buyer; West Yorkshire Police is the employer of the staff undertaking the apprenticeships.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to MBKB Limited on 23 September 2026. The awarded value is £55,000. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 30 June 2028. The buyer selected a supplier through a selective call-off from an existing framework, using the framework’s filtering functionality. The requirement covers five apprenticeships as a single package. The stated suitability includes small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published information gives no separate scoring breakdown for the selection; the documented route was filtering through the framework. The contract is for training existing West Yorkshire Police staff, with delivery in Yorkshire and the Humber.

For a supplier considering similar future work with West Yorkshire Combined Authority, this award demonstrates demand for Level 5 People Professional apprenticeship provision for existing police staff, delivered through an established training framework and its call-off filtering route. A credible competitor would need to offer relevant apprenticeship training for working employees and be able to deliver five places as a coordinated programme over an extended period. The selected provider was an SME, and the procurement was marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Experience supporting professional development in a policing workforce, and the capacity to serve staff in Yorkshire and the Humber, would therefore be pertinent to this specific requirement. The award also indicates that framework access and the ability to meet its filtering requirements matter when competing for this buyer’s apprenticeship work.
