## Summary

The procurement process for the "Public Sector Commercial Apprenticeship Training Services" was conducted by Westminster Council, located in London, United Kingdom. This initiative falls under the training services industry category and has reached the award stage as of October 18, 2017. The contract, valued at £73,000 and active until October 31, 2019, aims to address the Council’s apprenticeship training needs following the introduction of the apprenticeship levy on April 6, 2017. The tender period closed on September 29, 2017.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in apprenticeship training, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that are listed on the Register of Apprenticeship Training Providers. Companies that can provide relevant training services and have experience in apprenticeship programmes will find this an ideal platform to expand their client base within the public sector.

## Notice

Since 6th April, Westminster Council is liable to pay an apprenticeship levy which can be used by the Council to fund the training and assessment costs of apprenticeships for both existing staff and for new recruits. The apprenticeship levy can only be used to fund training against an approved apprenticeship standards and delivered by an approved apprenticeship training provider on the Register of Apprenticeship Training Providers (RoATP). Due to the changes in the market and the uncertainty regarding the provision of Commercial Apprenticeships it is proposed that a short term solution is put in place to ensure that Apprenticeships can commence ASAP. To date this training has not been delivered and Westminster will be among the first to commence delivery.
