## Summary

Defra Commercial procured education and training services for 20 Data Analyst Level 4 apprenticeships under standard ST0118. The requirement is for data-analyst training rather than the supply of software, equipment or general consultancy. Delivery is associated with Defra Commercial’s offices at 17 Smith Square, London, and the recorded delivery coverage includes the United Kingdom, Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and elsewhere. The buying organisation is Defra Commercial, part of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. This is a service opportunity for organisations that can provide structured Level 4 data analyst training at scale, potentially across geographically distributed learners. The procurement is categorised as education and training services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a single tender action below the applicable threshold, rather than an open competition. The submission deadline was 16 May 2026 at 12:00. Defra Commercial awarded the contract to Cambridge Spark Ltd on 11 August 2026 for £300,000, inclusive of the stated contract value currency, GBP. The contract runs from 16 June 2026 to 16 June 2028, ending at 23:59. One requirement was recorded, covering all 20 Data Analyst Level 4 ST0118 places. The award is active. The procurement was evaluated through the direct single-tender route, and the published suitability indicates that small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises were eligible to participate.

This award demonstrates demand from Defra Commercial for a substantial cohort of Level 4 data analyst training, delivered through a specialist education provider rather than a conventional professional-services supplier. A credible future competitor would need an established apprenticeship or vocational training operation, the ability to deliver the ST0118 Data Analyst Level 4 standard, and sufficient teaching, learner-support and quality-assurance capacity for 20 participants. Capability to coordinate delivery across the United Kingdom and the wider recorded coverage would strengthen resilience where learners are distributed geographically. The suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises indicates that a smaller specialist or mission-led provider could be commercially relevant, provided it can evidence the required training expertise, operational capacity and learner outcomes. Cambridge Spark Ltd is the selected supplier for this procurement.
