The Home Office has completed the direct award procurement process for the "Apprenticeship Direct Award - (Human Resources and Learning)" contract, which is classified under staff training services. This procurement, valued at £1,074,000, is set to be performed by MBKB Limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME). The service delivery spans multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including the North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, and London, among others. The contract duration is from 9 June 2025 to 8 June 2028, indicating a substantial opportunity for involvement in the public sector's human resources and learning improvements.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs specialised in staff training services to engage with government projects and expand their portfolio in a high-value, stable contract lasting three years. The direct award method indicates a more streamlined procurement process, which might appeal to businesses equipped to offer bespoke and high-quality services. Companies with expertise in HR training that possess the capacity to service large-scale contracts across multiple regions within the UK would be well-suited to take advantage of similar future opportunities.
