Summary of the contracting process

The County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract to Sunderland University as part of the Salisbury NHS Apprenticeship Training Framework. This contract, valued at £27,000, is for a Digital and Technology Solutions Professional apprenticeship over a duration of 36 months. The procurement process utilised a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates for this procurement include the contract start date on 7 November 2025 and its conclusion on 6 November 2028. The focus of the procurement lies within the education and training services category, with the primary location being the North East of England.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for entities involved in education and training services, particularly those specialising in digital and technology solutions. While the procurement was not open to general competition but conducted from a framework agreement, similar opportunities could be explored by businesses looking to engage with public sector apprenticeship programs. Organisations that benefit from such frameworks and have a capacity to deliver vocational training in technology-related fields could leverage this type of contract to expand their service offerings and establish robust partnerships with public sector bodies.
