Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council procured training for five Level 5 Learning and Development Consultant Business Partner apprenticeships. The requirement is for apprenticeship training, classified as education and training services, and is funded through the apprenticeship levy. The stated delivery location is the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. City Skills Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 August 2030. Its value is £35,000. The procurement was below the applicable threshold; the specific procedure is not recorded.

For a future requirement from North Northamptonshire Council, a credible provider would need to deliver Level 5 apprenticeship training in learning and development consultancy and business partnering, with capacity to support five apprentices over a multi-year programme. Experience delivering apprenticeship provision funded through the apprenticeship levy would be relevant. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that this requirement was delivered by a smaller provider rather than necessarily requiring a large training organisation.
