Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Telford and Wrekin Council procured education and training services to deliver a Level 6 Speech and Language Therapist apprenticeship. The requirement is for a training provider supporting an apprenticeship intended to start in September 2026. The council is the buying organisation, based at Lawn Central in Telford, Shropshire. The listed delivery locations include the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world, alongside the Telford postcode area. This is a specialist professional education requirement rather than a general recruitment, clinical treatment or construction opportunity. Relevant organisations are providers able to design and deliver higher-level apprenticeship training for speech and language therapy, with the systems and teaching capacity to support learners across the stated geographical scope.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 16 July 2026 to the University of Keele. It used a selective restricted procedure, with submissions due by 8 July 2026 at 6pm. The awarded value is £0 in the published data. The contract period runs from 17 July 2026 to 30 April 2028. The requirement is classified as education and training services and is a services contract. The award is active, and the tender status is complete. The stated purpose was to secure delivery of the Level 6 Speech and Language Therapist apprenticeship for a September 2026 start. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates a specific public-sector need for higher-level apprenticeship delivery in speech and language therapy. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need established expertise in professional education and training, the ability to deliver a Level 6 apprenticeship, and sufficient academic, teaching and learner-support capacity. It would also need to operate effectively through a restricted procurement route, where the buyer selects organisations to progress before bids are evaluated. The successful provider is the University of Keele, indicating that a university or similarly established training organisation may be well placed, particularly one able to support delivery connected with Telford and Wrekin Council and learners across the stated geographical scope.
