Summary of the contracting process

Telford and Wrekin Council procured training services for a newly recruited care-experienced learner. The requirement is delivery of the Business Administrator Level 3 apprenticeship, including additional learning requirements set out for the programme. The training supports the learner to develop the skills needed for their new post. The work is associated with Telford, Shropshire; the council is the buyer and Telford College is the selected provider. This is a focused, individual learner requirement rather than a broad programme for a cohort. The procurement sits within education and training services (CPV 80000000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Telford College on 20 October 2026. The award is recorded at £0, so no positive contract price is stated. The contract period runs from 21 October 2026 to 30 April 2028. The council used a restricted procedure, with competition through a selective route. The tender deadline was 9 October 2026 at 5pm. The published information identifies the required training and additional learning requirements, but does not describe a scoring method or set out specific supplier eligibility conditions. The requirement relates to one newly recruited learner, and the training was intended to start in November 2026. The recorded delivery location is Telford, Shropshire.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible provider would need to deliver the Business Administrator Level 3 apprenticeship to an individual learner while tailoring delivery to the learner’s additional learning requirements. The selected supplier was Telford College, demonstrating demand for a provider able to support a newly recruited, care-experienced learner entering a post. Providers should be equipped to connect apprenticeship learning with the duties of the learner’s role, while managing delivery over an extended training period. The council used a restricted, selective competition, so suppliers should be prepared for a competition in which participation is limited to invited or selected candidates. This is a small-scale, individual training requirement rather than a multi-learner contract; suitability for SMEs and voluntary or community organisations was marked false.
