Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence bought Level 4 associate project management apprenticeships for its civil servants. The requirement is for education and training services, delivered across the UK. The single lot covers the apprenticeship programme for MOD civil servants; it is not a general project management consultancy or an opportunity to supply unrelated training. The buyer is the Ministry of Defence, based in Glasgow. The selected provider is a learning and employment company based in Sheffield. This procurement concerns the delivery of professional apprenticeship training to MOD staff, rather than construction or project delivery services.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. The Ministry of Defence selected Realise Learning & Employment Ltd, identified in the award under two closely related supplier entries. The contract was signed on 21 September 2026 and runs for 1,080 days. Its value is £1,071,000 excluding VAT. The procurement has one lot, covering Level 4 associate project management apprenticeships for MOD civil servants. The contract was extended by 12 months, from 23 September 2026 to 22 September 2027, and its value increased from £714,000 to £1,071,000 excluding VAT because the requirement was needed for longer than originally foreseen. No procedure or evaluation basis is stated in the available process data.

This award demonstrates Ministry of Defence demand for structured Level 4 associate project management apprenticeship training for its civil service workforce, at a substantial programme scale and across the UK. A credible provider for a comparable future requirement would need the capacity to deliver a sustained apprenticeship programme to MOD civil servants, alongside the learning and employment expertise needed to support professional training. The contract extension indicates that the buyer’s need continued beyond its original expectation, so suppliers would need to plan for continuity of delivery over an extended period. The award provides no stated accreditation, specific delivery model or evaluation requirements to use as a benchmark; suppliers should focus on demonstrating relevant apprenticeship delivery capability and the ability to meet the MOD’s workforce training needs.
