Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, initiated as a selective tender, has concluded with an award contract. Telford and Wrekin Council, functioning as the buying organisation, sought a training provider to deliver the Level 6 Social Worker Integrated Degree apprenticeship programme for the 2026 academic year. This contract falls under the "Education and training services" category (CPV: 80000000) and was facilitated through a restricted procedure. The contract was awarded to Staffordshire University on 6th May 2026, with the programme's delivery scheduled from 7th May 2026 to 29th December 2028. The geographical scope of the procurement includes the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the British Overseas Territories, amongst other regions.

This tender presents an exceptional opportunity for organisations specialised in educational services, particularly those capable of providing high-quality training for degree-level apprenticeships. While this specific opportunity was not open to SMEs or VCSEs, those businesses with the requisite scale and experience, such as higher education institutions, would find engagements like this conducive to strategic growth and institutional development. Being involved as suppliers in similar tenders could bolster their standing in the education sector, expand their service portfolio, and enable cross-regional reach.
