## Summary

Kirklees Council is buying civil engineering apprenticeship training at Levels 3 and 4 for apprentices who will work for the Council as apprentice civil engineers. The initial intake is four apprentices. The programme is designed to support recruitment and training into the Council’s civil engineering roles, with provision for multiple Level 3 and Level 4 cohorts each year. Delivery is for Kirklees in Yorkshire and the Humber. The requirement is a training service rather than construction work: the provider delivers vocational learning for the apprentices while they undertake their Council roles.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Leeds College of Building. The award date was 1 September 2026, and the awarded contract value is £309,000. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 28 February 2030, with options for two further 12-month extensions, taking the stated maximum period to 28 February 2032. Kirklees Council used a selective procedure to call off from a framework agreement. The requirement was for an initial four apprentices, with provision for up to five Level 3 cohorts and three Level 4 cohorts per year. The published procurement information does not set out an evaluation basis or bidder eligibility requirements beyond the framework call-off route.

For training providers, this award demonstrates demand from Kirklees Council for sustained Level 3 and Level 4 civil engineering apprenticeship delivery linked directly to Council roles. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver both levels and support apprentices alongside their workplace responsibilities, with the capacity to manage an initial intake and recurring cohorts. The awarded provider is a large college, and the procurement was made through a framework call-off, so relevant framework access and the organisational capacity to deliver a multi-year programme would be important. The opportunity is specifically about developing apprentice civil engineers for Kirklees; providers focused only on construction delivery or unrelated apprenticeship disciplines would be a weaker fit.

## Notice

The Borough of Kirklees Council will appoint a provider to deliver Civil Engineering Levels 3 and 4 to new apprentices who will commence work with the Council undertaking roles as Apprentice Civil Engineers. The initial recruitment will be 4 apprentices (up to a maximum of 5 cohorts of Level 3 apprentices and 3 Level 4 apprentices per year). The contract will commence on 01 September 2026 until 28 February 2030 with the option to extend for a further 2 x 12 month periods until 28 February 2032.
