Summary of the contracting process

North Somerset Council has successfully completed a procurement process for the Chartered Town Planner level 7 Apprenticeship under a limited competition method, which is aimed below the threshold. This tender falls under the services industry category, specifically education and training services, and is located in the Weston-super-Mare area in the UK. The procurement process reached its award stage with a contract valued at £27,000 (gross amount of £32,400) running from 6th October 2025 to 1st October 2030. The contract was signed on 25th April 2025, and the award was made to The University of the West of England, Bristol.

This opportunity opens avenues for growth in the field of educational and training services, particularly for institutions and organisations specialising in professional development and apprenticeship programmes. As the sector continues to expand, businesses with expertise in delivering advanced accredited training and educational services, especially those capable of operating within the framework of sub-central government contracts, would be well-suited to pursue similar opportunities. With its focus on establishing key educational contracts, this award could herald further potential collaborations with government entities seeking specialised training solutions.
