UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council procured delivery of a Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship at Level 6, covering apprenticeship training for its learners. This is an education and professional development service rather than a goods supply or construction project. The programme is intended for people undertaking higher-level management development through an apprenticeship route. The service is delivered in Lancashire, with the buying authority based in Preston. The appointed education provider is the University of Lancashire, which is also based in Preston. The requirement sits within adult and other education services and concerns one complete lot. Businesses relevant to this requirement are higher-education providers, apprenticeship training organisations and other organisations able to deliver Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship training.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to the University of Lancashire. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with a light-touch regime and one lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 23 May 2026. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. Its value is £220,000 gross. The published outcome identifies the University of Lancashire as the supplier for the full requirement. The process was run by Lancashire County Council under the legal basis of the Procurement Act 2023. The procurement record does not state an award weighting or other detailed evaluation formula, but confirms that the route was a limited competition below the applicable threshold.

This procurement shows Lancashire County Council’s demand for structured higher-level management apprenticeship training, delivered through an established education provider. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide the Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship at Level 6, meet the needs of adult learners and deliver apprenticeship training across Lancashire. Relevant organisations are universities, higher-education institutions and specialist apprenticeship providers with the academic and operational capability to support degree-level management development. The awarded supplier is a large university, indicating that institutional capacity and recognised higher-education delivery are relevant benchmarks. Providers should be able to manage a complete programme for the council rather than isolated training sessions.
