The work will be conducted primarily at the E&F depot located at 130 Cowley Road, Cambridge, with an expected contract duration starting from 13th April 2018 to 31st March 2021. The total budget allocated for this initiative is £144,000 and it falls under the category of education and training services.

This opportunity presents a significant prospect for training organisations, particularly those specialising in vocational education and apprenticeship programmes, to expand their client base.

Engaging in this contract could not only enhance the skill set of the workforce involved but also provide a stable contract for businesses focusing on training delivery within the public sector.
