The procurement stage is complete, culminating in the award of the contract to City & Guilds Limited. The procurement method used was limited, operating below a specific threshold with limited competition. The contract was awarded on 1st May 2026, and is scheduled to run for three years, ending on 30th April 2029, with an option to include additional learners.
