Summary of the contracting process

East Riding of Yorkshire Council procured delivery of the Level 3 Early Years Educator apprenticeship standard for its ER Schools, covering 10 apprenticeship places. This is education and training services focused on preparing learners for early years educator roles. Delivery is in Yorkshire and the Humber. The requirement is for an apprenticeship training provider able to deliver the specified standard to the council’s school network; the published scope centres on this qualification and those 10 places.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Montessori Apprenticeship Academy on 22 September 2026. The awarded value is £70,000, with a contract period from 1 October 2026 to 31 December 2030. The council used a direct single-tender action below the threshold. The earlier tender deadline was 16 September 2026. The procurement was presented as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The stated requirement was a single 10-place training delivery; no separate lot awards are recorded. The award is active.

This award shows demand from East Riding of Yorkshire Council for Level 3 Early Years Educator apprenticeship training across its ER Schools. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to deliver the apprenticeship standard to a cohort of 10 learners and work effectively with the council’s school network in Yorkshire and the Humber. The selected provider was Montessori Apprenticeship Academy, identified as an SME, showing that the requirement was delivered by a smaller specialist training provider. The buying route used was a direct single-tender action below the threshold, so suppliers should be alert to the council’s procurement approach for this scale of requirement. The opportunity is specifically about apprenticeship delivery for early years educator roles, rather than general education or unrelated training.
