Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Ltd (UK SBS) procured a Level 4 business analyst apprenticeship, an education and training service intended to develop business analysis skills. The requirement is for an apprenticeship rather than general training provision, so it is most relevant to providers able to deliver this specific qualification and support an apprentice through the programme. The procurement records delivery in the United Kingdom. UK SBS, based in Swindon, is the buying organisation. The awarded supplier, Decoded Limited, is a small business, showing that a smaller specialist provider was able to deliver the requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Decoded Limited through a rapid call-off from the RM6102 dynamic purchasing system, using a selective procedure. The award date was 28 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £26,000. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 22 August 2027. The original tender deadline was 13 April 2026. This was a single apprenticeship requirement; the published information does not break it into lots. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to supply. The process was concluded as a call-off rather than a new open competition, and the award confirms that Decoded Limited was selected to provide the apprenticeship service.

For providers competing when UK SBS next needs this specific apprenticeship, the award demonstrates demand for Level 4 business analyst training delivered through an apprenticeship programme. A credible supplier would need to provide the relevant qualification and the capability to support an apprentice throughout the programme, rather than offer only stand-alone business analysis courses. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that delivery was within the reach of a smaller provider. Experience in apprenticeship delivery, learner support and business analysis training would therefore be relevant credentials to demonstrate. Suppliers should also be prepared to compete through a call-off from the RM6102 dynamic purchasing system: familiarity with the framework route and the ability to respond to its requirements are commercially relevant to this buyer’s purchasing approach.
