UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth City Council commissioned an apprenticeship in Level 6 Service Design, categorised as vocational training. The work is intended to develop a service designer through an apprenticeship programme. Delivery is in Portsmouth, in the South East of England. This is a single requirement rather than a multi-lot procurement, and the selected provider is Estu Global Ltd. The purchase is relevant to apprenticeship and vocational training providers able to deliver advanced service-design training for a local authority. The description identifies the apprenticeship level and subject, but does not set out a wider training curriculum or additional service components.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Portsmouth City Council used a below-threshold route; the method is recorded as unknown. Estu Global Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 24 September 2026 and runs from 25 September 2026 to 24 September 2028. Its stated gross value is £45,000. The procurement has one lot, which is complete. The available details identify the service-design apprenticeship as the requirement, but do not provide an evaluation basis or eligibility conditions. The contract is for services and its recorded classification is vocational training.

This award shows that Portsmouth City Council buys Level 6 service-design apprenticeship training, delivered in Portsmouth, through a below-threshold procurement. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement should be able to provide vocational training and support an advanced apprenticeship in service design for a public-sector client. The selected provider is an SME, demonstrating that a smaller training business has delivered this requirement. The scale is a focused, single-apprenticeship service rather than a multi-lot programme. Credibility will depend on the ability to deliver the specified level and subject, as well as to meet the council’s operational needs for local delivery. The award provides a clear example of the training subject and supplier profile relevant to this buyer.
