Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited commissioned a Level 3 Content Creator apprenticeship. The requirement is for education and training services, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement concerns apprenticeship provision rather than the purchase of content-creation equipment or a standalone content production service. Chichester College Group was selected to provide the training. This gives training providers with relevant apprenticeship delivery capability a clear indication of the type of provision this buyer has procured.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Chichester College Group on 20 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £10,000. The contract period runs from 7 October 2026 to 8 February 2028. The buyer used a limited procedure through a competitive quotation below the applicable threshold, described as a rapid response competition. The stated tender deadline was 19 August 2026 at 11:00. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No separate award-scoring criteria or lot structure is recorded in the contracting details.

This award demonstrates demand from UK Shared Business Services Limited for Level 3 Content Creator apprenticeship training, at a small, focused scale. Chichester College Group, identified as an SME, was selected, showing that a provider of this size competed successfully. Providers seeking to be credible for a similar requirement should be able to deliver the relevant Level 3 apprenticeship provision and respond to a competitive quotation process. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold limited procedure is commercially relevant to training providers that can compete efficiently for a defined, comparatively modest apprenticeship requirement, rather than relying on a large multi-lot programme. The award provides a buyer-specific reference point for apprenticeship providers assessing whether this kind of training aligns with their delivery offer.
