Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, conducted by North Northamptonshire Council, involves a call-off for the delivery of Level 4 Associate Project Manager apprenticeship training. With an award status labelled as 'active' as of 18 August 2025, this contract has been awarded to the University of Bedfordshire. The contract, valued at £72,000, spans from 1 March 2023 to 8 February 2027 and is set in the East Midlands, UK. Classified under the 'Education and training services' industry category, this open procedure represents an opportunity below the threshold. The procurement stage has reached completion following a contract award on 20 February 2023, post the tender period which concluded on 10 February 2023.

This tender presents substantial growth avenues for large organisations involved in educational and training services, particularly those specialising in apprenticeship programmes. It is a significant opportunity for businesses equipped to deliver effective project management training within the stated region and sector. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this contract less aligned with their capacities, given its skew towards large-scale training provision. The collaboration with North Northamptonshire Council and University of Bedfordshire offers stability and potential further engagements in public sector training initiatives.
