Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "Apprenticeship Management," was initiated by Thames Water Utilities Limited, a significant player in the water services industry based in Reading, UK. The procurement is classified under education and training services, with a focus on awarding a framework agreement for managing and delivering apprenticeship programmes. The process is currently at the Award stage, with key dates including a recent update on 17 November 2021, indicating that some lots have been cancelled due to low response rates, and further notices will be issued in the coming weeks to replace these. A standstill period of a minimum of 10 calendar days is in place following the communication of award decisions, allowing unsuccessful tenderers to contest the results before contracts are finalised.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in education and training, particularly those focused on apprenticeship programmes within the engineering, digital, customer experience, and leadership sectors. The framework agreement offers an initial term of three years, with options for extensions up to eight years, making it an attractive long-term opportunity for training providers. Companies that can demonstrate government-standard apprenticeship delivery and have the capacity to engage in programmes across the Thames Water Region will find this tender particularly suitable for expanding their business operations.
