Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education procured education and training services to deliver up to 10 Level 4 Regulatory Compliance Officer apprenticeships for its employees. The requirement covers apprenticeship provision rather than general training, with delivery across England in the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The work falls within education and training services, with the Department for Education as the buying organisation. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to apprenticeship providers and specialist training organisations able to deliver regulatory compliance programmes across multiple English regions.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 24 June 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded to CSA (Services) Ltd on 1 July 2026 for £90,000, and covers the period from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. The selected supplier is an SME. The requirement was evaluated as a services procurement for up to 10 Level 4 Regulatory Compliance Officer apprenticeships. The award is active, and the contract period matches the award period. The Department for Education is the buyer and the arrangement is a single requirement rather than a procurement divided into separate lots.

For apprenticeship and professional training providers, this award demonstrates demand from the Department for Education for Level 4 Regulatory Compliance Officer programmes delivered to its own workforce. A credible future competitor would need the capability to design or deliver this specific apprenticeship standard, support learners through the required training and assessment journey, and provide reliable employer-facing administration. Providers should also be able to operate across the English regions covered by the requirement, coordinate delivery for a dispersed employee cohort and manage a programme of up to 10 learners. Framework access and experience delivering regulated, work-based training would strengthen a supplier’s position for similar Department for Education requirements.
