Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes City Council procured three Level 6 Teacher Undergraduate Apprenticeships under standard ST1502. The requirement is for education and training services supporting teacher apprentices through undergraduate-level training, combining higher education, vocational training and staff development. Delivery is for Milton Keynes City Council in Milton Keynes, although the published delivery location is the wider United Kingdom. The buyer is Milton Keynes City Council, a sub-central public authority. The selected provider is CU Apprenticeships (Better Futures) Ltd, which is classified as a large organisation. This requirement is relevant to universities, higher education providers, apprenticeship training organisations and education businesses able to deliver Level 6 teacher apprenticeship programmes for public-sector employees.

The procurement is complete and was run as a below-threshold open competition. The tender deadline was 12 June 2026 at 12 noon, with enquiries closing on 2 June 2026 at 23:59. One lot covered the requirement, evaluated on 80% quality and 20% price. CU Apprenticeships (Better Futures) Ltd was awarded the contract on 25 August 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. Its value is £81,000 excluding VAT and £97,200 including VAT. The contract is active and the award covered the full requirement for three Level 6 Teacher Undergraduate Apprenticeships.

This procurement demonstrates a defined demand from Milton Keynes City Council for structured Level 6 teacher apprenticeship provision over a substantial multi-year delivery period. Suppliers best placed to compete for a comparable requirement would be organisations with the capacity to support three teacher apprentices through the full ST1502 programme, including programme administration, teaching, learner support, assessment and coordination with the council as employer. Relevant experience would include delivering higher or vocational education and apprenticeship training, managing quality-led public-sector contracts and demonstrating reliable learner outcomes. The evaluation weighting indicates that service quality is substantially more important than price, so credible providers would need a well-evidenced delivery model, appropriately qualified teaching staff and robust quality assurance.
