Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured digital apprenticeship training at levels 3 to 6. This is a services requirement covering education and training, focused on delivering apprenticeships in digital subjects rather than supplying equipment or construction work. Delivery may take place across the United Kingdom and internationally, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man and other overseas locations. The buying organisation is the Ministry of Defence, with its recorded address in Glasgow. The requirement is therefore relevant to training providers with the ability to deliver structured digital apprenticeship programmes across a geographically dispersed public-sector workforce and, where required, support learners beyond the UK.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. QA Ltd was awarded the contract on 14 July 2026 for £1,410,000 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract runs from 15 July 2026 to 14 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 14 July 2026 at 5pm. The procurement was evaluated as a digital apprenticeship training services requirement at levels 3 to 6. The award is active, and the Ministry of Defence is the buyer. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates Ministry of Defence demand for a substantial, multi-year digital apprenticeship training service delivered through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need recognised capability in digital apprenticeship provision across levels 3 to 6, with the teaching, assessment and learner-support capacity to serve a large public-sector organisation. The geographic scope indicates that providers should be able to coordinate delivery across the United Kingdom and overseas locations, rather than operate only from a single local centre. The selected supplier was a large organisation, so comparable scale, operational resilience and the ability to manage a dispersed learner population would be important when this requirement returns to market.
