Summary of the contracting process

North East Lincolnshire Borough Council bought Level 3 Learning and Development Practitioner apprenticeship training services. The requirement was for provision of this specific apprenticeship programme, rather than a general training service. Delivery is associated with Yorkshire and the Humber, with the council based in Grimsby. The procurement was run as a further competition under the council’s Apprenticeships Dynamic Purchasing System, so it formed part of a route for sourcing apprenticeship provision. The stated scope is limited to the Level 3 practitioner programme; no further detail about curriculum, learner numbers or delivery format is included in the requirement description.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to MBKM on 7 October 2026. The award value is £5,389. The awarded contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2029. This was a further competition under North East Lincolnshire Borough Council’s Apprenticeships Dynamic Purchasing System. The earlier tender period ended on 31 July 2026. The procurement record gives no separate evaluation criteria or award basis, and does not break the requirement into lots. The award is recorded as active. The dates and value relate to this contract and should not be read as a general price or duration for other apprenticeship training opportunities.

For providers of Level 3 Learning and Development Practitioner apprenticeships, this award demonstrates a council requirement for a specialist apprenticeship programme, procured through a further competition within an established Apprenticeships Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible competitor would need to be able to deliver the Level 3 programme to the council’s requirements and participate in that purchasing route. The council is recorded as unsuitable for SME and voluntary, community and social enterprise suppliers for this competition, and the selected supplier is classified as a large organisation. Those details suggest that smaller providers should consider whether they can meet the council’s route and scale requirements, or work in an appropriate delivery arrangement. The award shows demand for this particular apprenticeship, rather than for unrelated training services.
