Summary of the contracting process

The County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust has completed a contracting process for a "Senior Healthcare Support Worker" apprenticeship programme. The direct award has been made to B.D.C. (Derwentside College) Ltd to deliver approximately 30 apprenticeships over a 24-month period, with the service provision commencing on 1st April 2025 and concluding on 31st March 2027. This procurement falls under the education and training services industry category and utilises a selective procurement method, specifically as a call-off from the Salisbury NHS Apprenticeship Training Framework F10353. The total contract value is £270,000, and the work is to be undertaken in the North East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses operating within the education and training sector, particularly those capable of delivering specialised apprenticeship programmes in healthcare. While the contract has been awarded through a framework agreement, businesses looking to align with such frameworks or similar NHS educational initiatives can position themselves strategically for future opportunities. Companies with the requisite scale and expertise in training services, especially in large-scale project fulfilment, would be particularly well-suited to pursue comparable contracts supporting public health systems. Such engagements could facilitate business growth through stable, long-term partnerships with public sector entities.
