Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council, based in Corby, has concluded the procurement for the delivery of level 6 Project Manager Apprenticeships. This contract, started on 11th July 2025, spans through to July 2030, with an award value of £88,000, fully funded by the apprenticeship levy. The industry category falls under education and training services delivered by the University of Bedfordshire. The procurement process adhered to a limited method due to its below-threshold nature and was categorised under the light-touch regime. The award phase is marked as complete, with the full contract operational from 21st July 2025.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in educational services, particularly those offering advanced apprenticeship training. The delivery of these apprenticeships over five years provides a steady stream of business, appealing particularly to large educational institutions with existing frameworks for delivering tailored educational programmes. Organisations operating in the East Midlands region, where Northamptonshire is located, are especially well-positioned to engage in similar future tenders that may arise from regional councils looking to invest in occupational training and upskilling initiatives.
