Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Digital Apprenticeships L3-6," under the Education and Training Services industry category (CPV Code: 80000000). This selective procurement involved a call-off from a framework agreement. The process, now at the award stage, involved QA Ltd as the supplier for a contract valued at £1,410,000. The contract period spans from 15th July 2026 to 14th July 2028. The award notice was published on 17th July 2026, with the geographic reach covering the United Kingdom and wider locations including British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, and the Rest of the World.

This tender presents significant opportunities for large-scale suppliers, particularly within the education and training sector, to offer digital apprenticeship services at levels 3 to 6. Businesses that can deliver comprehensive digital training packages, especially those capable of servicing broad geographical regions, would find this tender particularly lucrative. Although not open to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) or Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), companies with a substantial presence and capacity to engage in framework agreements will benefit from such public sector engagements. Pre-existing relationships with government frameworks enhance the likelihood of success in engagements of this nature.
