UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Construction Site Management Level 6 Apprenticeship" was conducted by Lancashire County Council, a sub-central public authority in the United Kingdom. This procurement falls within the services industry category, specifically focused on adult and other education services, with delivery in the UKD4 region. The tender was initiated under a direct procurement method classified as "below threshold - without competition". The contract was awarded to the University of Salford, with the procurement process tagged as both award and contract stage, and the procurement contract is active with a period from 1 September 2025 to 31 December 2028. The contract's total value is £72,000, with key dates including its publication on 20 August 2025 and sign-off on 13 August 2025.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for educational institutions and apprenticeship providers, particularly those specialising in adult education and vocational training within construction site management. Businesses equipped to offer site management training services, especially those with a focus on adult education, would be well-suited to target such opportunities in the public sector. As the procurement was achieved without a competitive tendering process, it presents a unique opportunity for businesses to collaborate more closely with public authorities in delivering specialised educational initiatives. The direct award to an SME like the University of Salford highlights the potential for smaller firms to secure similar contracts by demonstrating their capability and expertise in niche educational areas.
