Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council procured a Level 6 Chartered Surveyor degree apprenticeship for one employee, following the Quantity Surveying pathway under apprenticeship standard ST0331. The service is vocational and higher education training, including the academic and occupational learning needed to develop a qualified quantity surveyor. Delivery is online, so the provider’s teaching and learner support can be delivered remotely rather than at a council workplace. The requirement was for a single learner rather than a cohort or wider workforce training programme. The selected provider was UBE, formerly trading as the University College of Estate Management. The buying organisation is Central Bedfordshire Council, based in Chicksands, Bedfordshire.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to UBE (formerly trading as University College of Estate Management) on 10 September 2026. The award value is £27,000. The contract runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 August 2031. It was awarded through the RM6102 Apprenticeship Training Dynamic Marketplace, using the stated alternative procurement method. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The underlying tender record gives a submission deadline of 18 September 2026 at 18:28. The available evaluation information establishes the apprenticeship requirement and marketplace route, but does not set out a separate price or quality weighting.

This award indicates demand from Central Bedfordshire Council for specialist apprenticeship providers able to deliver degree-level surveying education online to an individual employee over a long training period. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need an apprenticeship programme aligned with the Level 6 Chartered Surveyor standard, including the Quantity Surveying pathway, and the academic and practical support needed for successful learner progression. Relevant capability includes recognised higher-education delivery, apprenticeship administration, remote teaching, learner mentoring and assessment arrangements. Providers would also need to understand public-sector marketplace procurement and demonstrate capacity to support a single learner consistently rather than relying only on large cohorts. The council’s stated suitability assessment means the opportunity is aimed at established specialist providers rather than smaller or voluntary-sector organisations.
