Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council bought apprenticeship training services to support its early careers strategy. The work is associated with Ipswich, where the Council is based and the service delivery postcode is IP1 2BX. The requirement is vocational training, focused on apprenticeships; no specific trades, learner numbers or training programmes are described.

The procurement is complete and Dynamic Training UK Limited was selected. The award was made on 4 October 2026, for £28,000. The stated contract period runs from 5 to 8 October 2026. The Council used a selective call-off from the YPO public sector framework. Framework providers submitted bids, which were filtered against the Council’s service requirements and assessed using quality of provision, value for money and alignment with learner needs. The procurement value was estimated at £4,000–£28,000; the awarded value was £28,000.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible provider would need to deliver apprenticeship training that supports Suffolk County Council’s early careers strategy. The evaluation indicates that quality of provision, value for money and fit with learner needs were central to selection. Suppliers should also be positioned to compete through the YPO framework route, since this contract was awarded as a framework call-off. The procurement was marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, and the selected provider was an SME. The evidence points to a focused training-services opportunity rather than a broader workforce or education contract.
