Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured a Level 3 HR Support apprenticeship, a training service intended to develop learners’ human resources support skills. The procurement is categorised as education and training services. The stated delivery coverage spans the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a defined apprenticeship requirement rather than a general HR consultancy or staffing contract, so it is most relevant to providers able to deliver formal, work-based HR training across the stated geographical reach.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Ministry of Defence selected Realise Training & Employment Limited through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 21 September 2026, with a contract period running from 22 September 2026 to 21 September 2028. The awarded value is £324,000. The tender’s estimated value was also £324,000. The response deadline was 21 September 2026. The process is recorded as a single apprenticeship requirement, with no separate lots described. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable. The award records an active supplier and gives no separate evaluation criteria.

This award shows that the Ministry of Defence buys Level 3 HR Support apprenticeship training through framework call-offs, with delivery potentially spanning the UK and international locations. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need the capability to deliver structured, work-based HR training to the Level 3 standard and support learners across a geographically dispersed footprint. The scale of the award points to a substantial training engagement suited to a provider able to sustain delivery over a multi-year period, rather than a one-off course. The procurement marked SMEs as suitable, indicating that smaller training providers may be positioned to compete where they can demonstrate the relevant apprenticeship delivery capacity and reach.
