Summary of the contracting process

Castle Point Borough Council has completed a procurement process titled "Apprenticeships and Associated Training," falling under the education and training services category. This selective procurement was executed as a call-off from a framework agreement, with the contract awarded to Multiverse Group Limited. The project focuses on levy-funded apprenticeships and associated training, and it is located in the East of England, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is at the award phase, following the tender period that concluded on 25th June 2025. The contract commenced on 26th June 2025 and is set to end on 26th November 2026, with a total value of £258,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational and training services, particularly those capable of delivering comprehensive apprenticeship programmes. Since the procurement method was selective, businesses already part of the relevant framework agreement would have been well-positioned to participate. Furthermore, the opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), enhancing their growth potential by partnering with a large-size supplier like Multiverse Group Limited to expand or enhance their service offerings within the public sector.
