Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council procured training for its Coaching Professional Level 5 apprenticeship, for up to 12 council employees. This is an apprenticeship training service, within the education and training sector. Delivery is associated with the council’s Huntingdon-area location in Cambridgeshire. The requirement is focused on developing employees through the Level 5 coaching apprenticeship, rather than on general staff training or broader consultancy. The selected provider is Ioda Ltd. The contract is for the council’s own workforce, so relevant providers are those able to deliver structured apprenticeship training to a small employee cohort and support learners through the programme.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Ioda Ltd on 17 October 2025. The awarded value is £60,000. The contract period runs from 15 December 2025 to 10 November 2027. Cambridgeshire County Council used a limited competitive quotation procedure below the applicable threshold. The requirement was presented as a single contract for training up to 12 employees; no lots were specified. The council marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No detailed scoring weights or specific award criteria are stated in the process information. The selected supplier and active award establish the outcome of this procurement.

For providers of coaching apprenticeships, this award demonstrates a defined public-sector requirement for Level 5 training delivered to council employees. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to provide a structured apprenticeship programme suited to a small cohort, with the capability to train and support learners across the full contract period. Experience delivering coaching qualifications and managing apprenticeship learning for an employer would be directly relevant. The council’s use of competitive quotations below threshold indicates a relatively focused purchasing route for this requirement. Its stated unsuitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises is a material signal for smaller providers considering the buyer’s approach; suppliers should assess their ability to meet the council’s scale and delivery expectations.
