Summary of the contracting process

East Riding of Yorkshire Council procured training to deliver the Level 6 Project Manager integrated degree apprenticeship standard for three learners. This is an education and training service, with delivery in Yorkshire and the Humber. The requirement is specifically for project-management apprenticeship training at degree level, rather than general training services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to the University of Cumbria on 16 September 2026. The council used a direct, single-tender action below the procurement threshold. The estimated value was £22,000 to £66,000, and the awarded value was £66,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 9 September 2028. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The requirement covered three learners; no lot breakdown or award evaluation criteria are recorded in the available process information.

The award demonstrates demand from East Riding of Yorkshire Council for a provider able to deliver the Level 6 Project Manager integrated degree apprenticeship standard to a small cohort. A credible competitor when this specific requirement returns to market would need to offer degree-level project management apprenticeship delivery and the capacity to support three learners through the programme. The selected supplier was the University of Cumbria, showing that a higher education provider competed successfully for this work. The procurement was handled through a direct single-tender route, so this award does not establish that the council compared multiple bids or published a scored evaluation. Its stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that those organisation types were considered suitable to participate.
