The procurement method employed is an open procedure (above threshold), and the current stage of the process is the Tender stage. Key dates to note include the tender period ending on 28th March 2025 at 12:00 PM, with the contract period starting on 1st August 2025 and concluding on 31st July 2029.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity for organisations specialising in higher education services, particularly those capable of developing and delivering degree apprentice programmes. Given the nature of the procurement, larger or more established businesses with a strong track record in educational service provision are likely to be well-suited to compete. Smaller enterprises or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this opportunity less tailored to their capabilities, as suitability criteria do not favour them. Engaging with this contract could enhance the business’s portfolio and open avenues for future collaborations with public sector entities.
