UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council procured Level 6 Environmental Health Practitioner apprenticeship training for four places. The requirement covers full training delivery for people undertaking the environmental health practitioner qualification, funded through the council’s apprenticeship levy. This is an education and training service, with delivery in the East Midlands. The selected training provider is the University of Wolverhampton. The council is the buyer and the procurement relates to one complete requirement rather than multiple separately described service areas. The opportunity is relevant to universities, higher education providers and specialist apprenticeship training organisations able to deliver Level 6 environmental health practitioner programmes and support learners through the full training pathway.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition, under the light-touch regime. The contract was awarded to the University of Wolverhampton on 4 June 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 4 June 2026 to 30 September 2031. Its gross and stated value is £88,000. The award covers four training places, described as £22,000 each, with the full cost drawn from the apprenticeship levy. The requirement was evaluated through a direct award rather than a competitive tender, and the single lot is complete. No separate award values are reported.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear signal of North Northamptonshire Council’s demand for specialist environmental health workforce training. Suppliers considering similar future requirements would need to deliver a Level 6 Environmental Health Practitioner apprenticeship, provide structured training for several learners, and manage the full programme rather than isolated teaching modules. They would also need the operational capacity to support learners over a long training cycle and to work within apprenticeship levy funding arrangements. Relevant competitors include universities and established higher education or apprenticeship providers with environmental health teaching capability, learner support systems and experience delivering formal qualifications for public-sector employers.
