Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was handled by Telford and Wrekin Council, focusing on education and training services. The contract, titled "NPQ Qualifications linked to Apprenticeships programmes," has appointed a training provider to deliver qualifications for Operations Managers (level 5) and Team Leaders (level 3), culminating in September 2026. This is part of an apprenticeship programme and involved a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure. The award was active as of 31st March 2026, with the contract running from the same date until 31st March 2028. The delivery spans several geographic areas, including the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, and British Overseas Territories.

The awarded contract presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in educational and training services, particularly those experienced with apprenticeship programmes and managerial qualifications. Although Telford and Wrekin Council has opted for a selective procedure, the scope of delivery across different regions encourages participation from established training providers with international reach. The contract does not primarily target SMEs or VCSEs, suggesting it is suited for larger entities or networks such as Best Practice Network, the supplier chosen for this tender. Businesses with comprehensive training capabilities across these regions would be well-positioned to benefit from such engagements.
