Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice, located in London, United Kingdom, has concluded the procurement process for an IT Reporting Platform for Apprenticeships as of 9th December 2025. The procurement, categorised under educational software packages, was classified within the "goods" industry category. The direct procurement method employed was deemed below the threshold, allowing for a straightforward process without competition. This complete stage led to an active award to Aptem Ltd, with the contract running from 1st December 2025 to 30th November 2031. The entire contract process was formalised with a total gross value of GBP 108,000.

This procurement provides significant business growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially those specialising in educational technology solutions.
