Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has completed the awarding process for a contract concerning the delivery of the Data Analyst Level 4 Apprenticeship ST0118 programme for its employees. This procurement falls under the category of staff training services, with the service being provided across England, Scotland, and Wales, regardless of the postcode listing as SW1H 9NA due to technical issues. The tender was awarded via a call-off from Framework RM6102, employing a selective procurement method. Key dates include the tender period ending on 25 February 2026 and the contract running from 1 April 2026 to 31 May 2027, with the award being published on 22 April 2026.

This tender represents significant opportunities for growth within the training services sector, highlighting the potential for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to engage in government-led capacity-building initiatives. The completion of such contracts can bolster a firm's profile in providing educational services and apprenticeships to large public sector organisations like the DWP. Businesses specialising in staff training, particularly those equipped to deliver comprehensive analytics education programmes, would have been well-suited to pursue this opportunity, as evidenced by Cambridge Spark Limited being the contracted supplier. This suggests a favourable environment for other SMEs to expand their market presence within the public sector.
