Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions procured Level 3 Assistant Accountant Apprenticeship ST0002 training for its employees. The requirement is a staff training service (CPV 80511000), focused on delivering the named apprenticeship programme rather than supplying accounting services or recruitment. Delivery is associated with Caxton House, Tothill Street, London, and the wider England region. The buying organisation is the Department for Work and Pensions. The procurement was made through the RM6102 framework, so the requirement concerns training providers able to deliver this specific apprenticeship within a public-sector workforce setting. The selected supplier, Peak Accountancy Training, is recorded as an SME, indicating that the requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The work is a service contract for employee development and apprenticeship delivery.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from the RM6102 framework. The award was made to Peak Accountancy Training on 13 August 2026 for £136,800. The awarded contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 24 February 2031. The tender submission deadline was 22 June 2026 at 5pm, so the competitive stage has passed. The procurement used a framework call-off rather than an open standalone tender, meaning competition was conducted among relevant framework suppliers. The requirement was evaluated as a completed award for the delivery of the Level 3 Assistant Accountant Apprenticeship ST0002. The Department for Work and Pensions is the buyer, and Peak Accountancy Training is the appointed supplier for the full recorded requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for Level 3 assistant accountant apprenticeship delivery within a large government employer. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver the specified apprenticeship programme to employees, manage provision over a multi-year service period and operate effectively through a public-sector framework call-off. Relevant strengths would include established accountancy training capability, the capacity to support cohorts of government staff across England, and the systems needed for reliable learner administration, teaching and progress management. The successful supplier being an SME shows that smaller specialist training businesses can compete for this type of work. Experience of framework purchasing and of delivering structured workplace accountancy training would help a provider present a credible offer when the requirement next reaches the market.
