Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council commissioned a single provider to deliver apprenticeship training in care leadership and management for general adult social care. The service covers Level 2, Level 3 and Level 5 training, supporting the development of staff and future managers in adult social care settings. Delivery is in the West Midlands, with Coventry City Council as the buying organisation. The procurement is classified as education and training services and falls within the services category. It is relevant to organisations that design and deliver adult social care apprenticeship programmes, particularly providers able to cover several qualification levels through one coordinated service.

This procurement is complete and was awarded on 5 August 2026 following a further competition under Warwickshire County Council’s Apprenticeship Dynamic Purchasing System. The contract was awarded to Coventry and Warwickshire Chambers of Commerce Training Limited as the single provider. Its value is £495,000. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. The original submission deadline was 3 August 2026 at 12:00. The route was a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than an open tender. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For providers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates sustained demand from Coventry City Council for structured adult social care apprenticeship training covering leadership and management from Level 2 through Level 5. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need an established adult social care training offer, the teaching and assessment capability to support apprentices across multiple levels, and sufficient operational capacity to serve one council through a single-provider arrangement. Experience working with public-sector apprenticeship purchasing routes, including dynamic purchasing systems and further competitions, would also be commercially relevant. Smaller organisations and voluntary, community or social enterprises are identified as suitable supplier types, so a specialist provider may be well placed to compete.
