Summary of the contracting process

Isle of Wight Council procured vocational training services for two apprenticeship programmes: Governance Officer Level 4 and Regulatory Officer Level 4. The requirement was to provide apprenticeship training for council staff through the Crown Commercial Service RM6102 framework. The work is associated with the council in Newport and delivery is in the South East of England. This is a professional development and workforce training opportunity rather than a construction, goods supply or general consultancy contract. Training providers, apprenticeship specialists and organisations able to deliver Level 4 governance and regulatory training are the relevant supplier group. The procurement covers both apprenticeship routes under one requirement, giving providers experience in public-sector workforce development a clear indication of the service purchased.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The council used a direct award through the RM6102 framework. The submission deadline was 16 June 2026 at 23:59, and the award was made on 17 June 2026. CSA Services Limited was selected for an awarded value of £60,000. The contract runs from 18 June 2026 to 30 June 2028, an estimated period of about 24 months. The procurement was evaluated through the framework’s direct-award route; the published information does not set out separate quality or price weightings. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the requirement was treated as a services contract covering both Governance Officer Level 4 and Regulatory Officer Level 4 apprenticeships.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the requirement shows that Isle of Wight Council uses a public-sector framework to buy structured Level 4 apprenticeship training in governance and regulation. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver both subject areas, support apprentices through a sustained programme, and work effectively with a council employer and its staff. Relevant experience would include vocational training delivery, apprenticeship administration, learner support and assessment arrangements connected with governance or regulatory occupations. Providers already familiar with framework-based public procurement would understand the route used here. The award also indicates that the council considers this type of provision suitable for smaller businesses, so specialist apprenticeship providers may be well placed to compete when comparable training demand returns.
