The National Audit Office, a central government public authority located in London, has completed the procurement process for the "Success at School - Apprentice Campaign", associated with an apprentice attraction initiative for 2026. The procurement, categorised under recruitment services, was conducted via a direct method without competition, due to being below the financial threshold. The contract was awarded to Success at School Limited, with the contract period spanning from 4th July 2025 to 3rd September 2026. The contract was officially signed on 1st July 2025, and it was valued at £15,000 net, with a gross amount of £18,000.
