Summary of the contracting process

Walsall Metro Borough Council procured Building Control Surveying Level 6 apprenticeship training for its employees. The service is a personal development training service (CPV 80570000), delivered through a blended model of workplace learning, tutor-led sessions and remote learning activities. Training takes place in the Walsall area, at associated workplace locations, remotely and within apprentices’ working environments. The programme develops the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed for the Council’s building control function. Its purpose is to support workforce development, professional skills progression, succession planning, operational resilience, service delivery and compliance with relevant professional and regulatory standards.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to the University of Wolverhampton on 23 July 2026 for £24,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 September 2030. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 12:00. Walsall Metro Borough Council is the buyer. The procurement was for services and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, with one supplier recorded.

For a future requirement from this buyer, credible suppliers would need to provide Level 6 Building Control Surveying apprenticeship training and combine tutor-led teaching, remote learning and structured workplace learning. They would need to understand how to develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours used in a council building control function, rather than provide generic classroom training. Relevant capability includes supporting professional skills progression, succession planning, operational resilience and day-to-day service requirements, while aligning delivery with professional and regulatory standards. Providers able to work across council workplaces and apprentice working environments, as well as remotely, would be well placed. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
