Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Level 7 Apprenticeship Senior Tech Leader" project, led by the Home Office, recently concluded with the award of the contract to Makers Academy Ltd. As a central government public authority, the Home Office is located in London and operates under a direct procurement method, specifically below the threshold without competition. The procurement process reached the award stage on 15th October 2025, with the contract valued at £84,000 set to commence the same day and extend until 29th June 2027. The primary industry category associated with this service-focused engagement is specialist training services, highlighting its relevance to organisations within the educational and professional development sectors.

This procurement opportunity highlights significant prospects for growth, particularly for SMEs and specialist training providers looking to expand their services within the public sector. With the Home Office as the contracting authority, businesses operating within the UK, especially those specialising in advanced technical training and leadership development, are well-placed to benefit from such collaborations. The direct award process reflects a specific requirement for qualified suppliers capable of delivering high-level tailored training solutions, offering a strategic avenue for niche training providers to demonstrate their expertise and secure substantial government contracts.
