Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council procured apprenticeship training for Ashfield and Mansfield District Councils. The requirement covers Level 3 Business Administration apprenticeships for three people, Level 3 Maintenance and Installation Electrician training for two, and Level 3 Gas Engineering Operative training for one. This is a training-services contract, delivered in England. The specific trades and learner numbers indicate a focused programme serving council workforce development needs, rather than a broad, general training offer. The named buyer is Nottinghamshire County Council; Ashfield and Mansfield District Councils are the intended beneficiaries of the apprenticeships.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to West Notts College on 1 September 2026. It was a direct award through YPO 1086. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 December 2029, with an awarded value of £84,000. The procurement was presented as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement was for six apprentices across three occupational pathways: three in business administration, two in electrical maintenance and installation, and one in gas engineering operations. The award covers the training requirement as a single procurement; no separate lot awards are recorded.

For training providers assessing future council apprenticeship requirements, this award demonstrates demand for a small, defined cohort across business administration, electrical installation and maintenance, and gas engineering. A credible competitor would need to deliver Level 3 programmes in all relevant pathways, support learners through different occupational training needs, and provide capacity for a six-person cohort. The successful provider was West Notts College, and the route used was a direct award through YPO 1086. Providers with relevant apprenticeship delivery capability and the ability to serve public-sector workforce requirements in England are best aligned with this buyer’s demonstrated need. The mix of administrative and technical trades means a provider would need suitable delivery coverage across both office-based and practical vocational training.
