Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education procured education and training services to deliver Level 7 Systems Thinking apprenticeships for its employees. The requirement covers apprenticeship delivery rather than the supply of general training materials or consultancy. Delivery is required across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is a national public-sector learning requirement, suitable for organisations that can provide structured Level 7 apprenticeship programmes and support employees across multiple locations. The Department for Education is the buying organisation and the selected supplier is The JGA Group.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract was awarded to The JGA Group on 21 August 2025 for £90,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2026. The tender submission deadline was 14 August 2025 at 5pm. The procurement was for services and was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The Department for Education’s requirement was evaluated through the dynamic purchasing system call-off process. The award is active and the tender is complete, so this opportunity concerns an established contract rather than a current route to submit bids.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear benchmark for the Department for Education’s demand for Level 7 Systems Thinking apprenticeship delivery. A credible future competitor would need recognised capability in delivering higher-level apprenticeships, a strong understanding of systems thinking, and the teaching, assessment and learner-support capacity needed for employees in a government department. The requirement also favours providers able to coordinate delivery across England, including London and every English region listed in the procurement. Experience of public-sector learners, reliable programme administration and the scale to support a distributed workforce would strengthen a supplier’s position when this type of requirement returns.
