## Summary

The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) is conducting a public procurement process titled "Apprenticeships Training Dynamic Marketplace", within the education and training services industry category. This procurement is under a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the duration of 48 months with a possibility of extension for 24 more months. The procurement method is selective, following a restricted procedure above the threshold, under the Light Touch Regime, as stated by Regulations 74-76 PCR2015. This system allows for the procurement of services that align with existing and new Apprenticeship Standards, as well as End Point Assessments (EPAs), across the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, Guernsey, and Jersey. The contract is set to begin on 30th April 2025 and ends on 1st May 2025. Key tender period end date is the 29th April 2025, providing an opportunity for suppliers to join the DPS.

This tender presents a considerable opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) seeking to expand their business by providing apprenticeship-related services to central government and wider public sector organisations. With an estimated maximum value of £800 million, the DPS offers access to a substantial market without guaranteeing any specific volume or exclusivity, allowing businesses to compete to supply services represented in the Apprenticeship Standards Framework. SMEs registered with the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA), or listed on the Apprenticeship Training Providers (RoATP) and Register of EPA Organisations (RoEPAO) can apply, fostering business growth by engaging in a marketplace that supports skills development and education initiatives.
