For suppliers seeking similar DWP work, this award shows demand for delivery of the Level 4 Employability Practitioner Apprenticeship to DWP employees across England, Scotland and Wales. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to deliver this specific apprenticeship standard to a geographically dispersed public-sector workforce, with the training and apprenticeship delivery capability needed to meet the buyer’s requirement. The award was made through the RM6102 framework using a single-tender action, so suppliers would need an appropriate route to supply through that framework or a route accepted by the buyer for a future requirement.
