Summary of the contracting process

The Police Digital Service procured a Team Leader Level 3 apprenticeship course. This is a personnel-training service intended to develop team leadership capability through an apprenticeship programme. The service is delivered in the United Kingdom for the Police Digital Service, based in London. The requirement is classified under CPV 79632000, personnel-training services, and falls within the services category. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, Babington Business Limited, is also identified as an SME. The requirement concerns the provision of the apprenticeship course rather than construction, equipment supply or general consultancy, so relevant providers are organisations with the ability to deliver structured Level 3 team leader apprenticeship training in the UK.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 29 June 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 30 June 2026. Babington Business Limited was awarded the contract for £6,000 GBP. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 October 2027. The tender value and awarded value are both £6,000 GBP. The recorded evaluation basis is the selection process under the dynamic purchasing system; no separate award-criteria weighting is recorded here. The process was for a single Team Leader Level 3 apprenticeship course, with the Police Digital Service as buyer.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for Level 3 team leader apprenticeship training within the Police Digital Service and shows that the buyer uses a dynamic purchasing system call-off route for this type of service. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would be apprenticeship and vocational training providers able to deliver an organised Team Leader Level 3 programme in the United Kingdom. Credibility would come from relevant experience delivering team leadership apprenticeships, the operational capacity to support learners throughout the course, and the ability to work with a public-sector employer. Small and medium-sized providers are relevant to this market, as the procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and the appointed supplier is an SME.
