Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council procured a training provider to deliver School Business Professional Level 4 apprenticeship training for maintained schools in Cambridgeshire. The requirement covers up to 10 apprenticeships, supporting staff to develop professional skills in school business management. This is an education and training service (CPV 80000000), with delivery associated with the council’s Cambridge-area address. The buyer is Cambridgeshire County Council; the selected provider was Let Me Play Ltd.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Let Me Play Ltd. The award was made on 5 June 2026, with a stated value of £60,000. The contract runs from 22 June 2026 to 22 June 2028. The council used a limited, below-threshold competitive quotation procedure. The requirement was for up to 10 apprenticeships, and small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate. No evaluation criteria are stated in the available process information.

This award shows demand from Cambridgeshire County Council for Level 4 training tailored to school business professionals in its maintained schools. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to deliver apprenticeship training at this professional level and support delivery across a cohort of up to 10 learners. Providers able to tailor learning to the operational context of schools would be well placed to address the buyer’s stated need. The competitive quotation route indicates that the council used a focused, below-threshold competition for this purchase, rather than a large open tender. The successful supplier was Let Me Play Ltd; the award provides a practical benchmark for the type of specialist training provision the council selected.
