Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Apprenticeships Police Staff 2026" was conducted by Lancashire Constabulary, located in Preston, England. This contract falls under the education and training services category and involves delivering services in the North West of the United Kingdom. The procurement reached the award stage, culminating on 1st April 2026, with the contract period set from 1st May 2026 to 30th April 2030. The procurement was conducted using a selective method through a call-off from the YPO Framework 1086, involving a total awarded value of £800,000.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses engaged in educational and training services, particularly those capable of supplying comprehensive apprenticeship programmes. Though the procurement method was selective, businesses experienced in fulfilling framework agreements, similar to those of large organisations like the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation, which was successfully awarded this contract, could benefit from aligning their resources to meet the strategic needs of public sector apprenticeship schemes. Such frameworks can serve as reliable growth vehicles for businesses aiming to expand their service portfolio within public procurement settings.
