Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council procured an apprenticeship training provider to deliver up to 10 Chartered Manager Level 6 apprenticeships for its staff. This is professional management education and training, rather than the supply of goods or construction work. Delivery is associated with the council’s Cambridgeshire location at New Shire Hall, Weald, near Cambridge. The requirement centres on supporting council colleagues through a recognised management apprenticeship programme. The stated scope is limited to this qualification and cohort; the procurement does not describe a broader training portfolio or other apprenticeship subjects.

The procurement is complete and Anglia Ruskin University was selected for the contract. The award was made on 20 May 2026, for £220,000. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 24 August 2030. The route was a competitive quotation through YPO, described as above threshold. The tender deadline was 20 May 2026 at noon. The requirement was for one provider to deliver up to 10 apprenticeships; no separate lots are described. Small and medium-sized enterprises were identified as suitable to participate. The published details do not set out a scored evaluation formula or specific award criteria, so the basis beyond the competitive quotation route cannot be summarised.

For training providers, this award demonstrates a public-sector requirement for Chartered Manager Level 6 apprenticeship delivery to council employees, with capacity to support a cohort of up to 10 learners over a multi-year programme. A credible competitor would need to deliver this specific management qualification as an apprenticeship and manage learning for public-sector staff over an extended contract. The procurement was run through a competitive quotation route via YPO, and SMEs were considered suitable, indicating that a smaller specialist provider could be relevant if it can meet the delivery requirement. The selected supplier was a large university, showing that a higher education provider was able to fulfil the requirement; the procurement does not identify particular accreditations, staffing levels or delivery methods as conditions.
