Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Cambridgeshire County Council focused on the provision of apprenticeship training services for their employees, specifically for Project Manager Level 6 Apprenticeship. Classified under education and training services (CPV code 80000000), this tender process, initiated through a competitive quotation method, resulted in the award to the University of Cumbria. Located in Huntingdon, England, the buyer organisation finalised this award on 18th December 2025. Business entities within the services industry may find opportunities during such procurement processes, though this specific tender is marked complete with the award being active from 8th January 2026 to 1st April 2029.

Opportunities for expanding business may arise in sectors like education and training, especially for organisations capable of delivering quality apprenticeship services. While larger entities like the University of Cumbria are typically involved, smaller businesses can still strategically position themselves to provide specialised training programmes that meet specific procurement needs. Despite Cambridgeshire County Council not specifying the suitability for SMEs or VCSEs, companies should explore similar competitive quotation processes below threshold to identify growth possibilities through public sector contracts. These tenders can be particularly advantageous for businesses with a robust delivery capacity in high-standard, industry-specific educational services.
