## Summary

The Bath and North East Somerset Council is currently conducting a tender for an Apprenticeship Programme, which falls under the education and training services sector. The procurement process is in the active stage of tendering, with the deadline for submissions set for 17th July 2017. This open procurement method allows suppliers from the South West region of the United Kingdom to compete for a contract valued at £1,500,000, aimed at enhancing apprenticeship opportunities while adhering to the Apprenticeship Levy's regulations.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in training and education services, particularly those that are local Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) or Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs). The focus on recruiting and training apprentices means that firms with expertise in apprenticeship programmes and workforce development initiatives would be particularly well-suited to participate. Suppliers who can demonstrate their ability to provide high-quality training and support for apprentices will have a competitive advantage in this contract opportunity.

## Notice

The Apprenticeship Levy came into effect in April 2017 when in England, control of apprenticeship funding was put into the hands of employers through the Digital Apprenticeship Service. Bath and North East Somerset Council is looking for local training providers to support the Council in delivering the new Apprenticeship Levy by identifying apprenticeship opportunities in the Council, recruiting and training apprentices and supporting the Council in the delivery of a quality Apprenticeship Programme that secures best value and operates within the Apprenticeship Levy contract rules.
