North Northamptonshire Council has completed a procurement process involving the award of a contract for the delivery of Level 2 Arborist Apprenticeship services under the apprenticeship levy programme. This procurement activity fell under the education and training services industry category, with a focus on learners in the UK, particularly within the UKF region. The contract, beginning on 9th May 2025 and set to conclude on 1st January 2029, has been awarded to Central YMCA without competition, under a direct procurement method for below-threshold services, in line with the UK's light-touch regime. The value of this contract is £48,000, providing training for four learners over a span of four years.
