Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Provision for Transfer of Apprenticeship" is managed by the Ministry of Defence in England, with the award given on 28 July 2025. This contract, completed under the Crown Commercial Services Apprenticeship Training Provider Dynamic Marketplace (RM6102), falls within the adult-education services at a university level industry category and focuses on services to be delivered in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The valued contract spans from 28 July 2025 to 28 December 2027. The procurement used a selective method through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system and, although now complete, the tender period concluded on 25 July 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses associated with educational services, though the completed process indicates that large-scale enterprises like universities have an advantage due to the complexity and scale of the requirements. The awarding to the University of Plymouth suggests that institutions with robust capabilities in adult education service provision are well-suited for such opportunities. Businesses seeking to engage in similar future tenders can focus on scaling their offerings to fit selective procurement methods used by large public bodies like the Ministry of Defence.
