Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport has completed the procurement process for the "L3 Team Leader/L5 Ops Manager Apprenticeship" project, aimed at providing education and training services in the UK. This procurement, which falls under the services category, was carried out under a limited method without prior publication of a competitive call, as it was awarded through a framework. The contract, valued at £321,420, was signed on 23rd October 2025, with the supplier being CT SKILLS. Representatives from the DVSA reviewed the process, and the contract stage is currently marked as "active". The project is focused on providing apprenticeship opportunities for 50 individuals across the UK.

This tender presents a remarkable opportunity for businesses involved in education and training services, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive apprenticeship programmes. Organisations similar to CT SKILLS, an SME that secured the contract, could significantly benefit from such opportunities by expanding their training portfolios and enhancing their service reach. Businesses with expertise in vocational training and development would find this type of contract particularly advantageous as it aligns with educational initiatives and skill development goals outlined by public authorities in the region.
