UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council procured Level 2 Ground Worker apprenticeship training as a public service. The requirement covers education and training for up to nine apprenticeship places, supporting people to develop practical groundworking skills through an apprenticeship programme. The service is funded through the council’s apprenticeship levy. Multi Trades Training Ltd is the named training provider. The buying organisation is North Northamptonshire Council, based at The Corby Cube in Corby. Delivery is recorded in the United Kingdom. The procurement falls within education and training services, covering the provision of structured apprenticeship training rather than construction works or the direct supply of groundworking materials.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. North Northamptonshire Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. Multi Trades Training Ltd was awarded the single lot. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and runs from 22 July 2026 to 30 June 2030. Its gross and stated value is £81,000, funded through the apprenticeship levy. The awarded contract covers the full requirement for up to nine Level 2 Ground Worker apprenticeship places. The recorded award is active and the contract is active. The procurement information does not set out a separate competitive evaluation basis because the contract was awarded directly without competition.

This award indicates established demand from North Northamptonshire Council for specialist apprenticeship provision in groundworking. A credible future competitor would need to deliver recognised Level 2 Ground Worker training, support apprentices through the full programme, and provide sufficient teaching and operational capacity for a small cohort of up to nine learners. The successful provider is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist training business rather than only a large education group. Relevant strengths include experience of apprenticeship delivery, the ability to administer levy-funded training, practical groundworking expertise, and the systems to work with a local authority on learner progress, attendance, assessment and completion.
