Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Ltd (UK SBS) procured a Level 6 Digital and Technology Solutions Professional Apprenticeship, a professional training service. The requirement is for an apprenticeship programme in digital and technology solutions. The published delivery location is the United Kingdom. UK SBS, based in Swindon, is the buyer. This is a specific apprenticeship requirement rather than a general purchase of digital technology or IT services.

The procurement has been awarded: QA Limited was selected, with an award date of 29 September 2026. The awarded value is £26,460. The contract period runs from 29 September 2026 to 16 March 2030. The procurement was a rapid award call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, using a selective procedure. The tender deadline was 8 June 2026. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No evaluation criteria are reported in the available process data.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement at UK SBS for delivery of a Level 6 Digital and Technology Solutions Professional Apprenticeship. Suppliers competing for comparable future work with this buyer would need to deliver this specific type and level of professional apprenticeship training, rather than general digital consultancy or technology supply. QA Limited was selected, providing a clear example of a supplier that met the buyer’s requirement. The procurement used a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so relevant providers would need to be able to participate through that route. The stated SME suitability indicates that businesses of this size can be appropriate competitors. The award is evidence of demand for apprenticeship provision in digital and technology solutions at a defined, individual-programme scale.
