Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process managed by Telford and Wrekin Council has reached the award stage for the contract titled "0013/25 SOCIAL WORKER (INTEGRATED DEGREE) - AWARD". This contract falls under the industry category of Education and Training Services, aiming to find a training provider for Social Worker Degree Apprenticeships beginning in the 2025/26 academic year. The procurement method was a selective process, specifically a restricted procedure, concluding the tender period on 30th May 2025. The contract is set to start on 11th June 2025 and will run until 31st March 2028, across multiple locations including the United Kingdom and several territories. Telford and Wrekin Council, located in Shropshire, is the buyer for this initiative, with Joanne Winborn as the contact point.

This tender represents significant opportunities for growth within the education sector, particularly for businesses capable of delivering degree-level training programmes. Given that the award has been made to the University of Keele, businesses that focus on collaboration with educational institutions or specialise in educational services may find potential areas for synergies or partnerships. Businesses that are familiar with structured apprenticeship programmes and can offer value-added services in the realm of higher education training would be well-suited to compete in similar future processes, provided they are adaptable to selective procurement methods. The nature of this procurement, geared towards larger entities rather than SMEs or VCSEs, suggests that established providers with experience in the education and training sector could leverage their expertise to meet such demanding contractual requirements.
