## Summary

NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) has successfully completed the procurement process for the Data Engineer Level 5 (ST1386) Apprenticeship. This contract was awarded to Cambridge Spark Limited via a Direct Award through the YPO Framework, specifically under the provision of Apprenticeships and Associated Training (reference 1086). The contract period commenced on 24th October 2025 and runs until 31st March 2027, covering multiple regions in the UK, including West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West. The procurement, classified under education and training services (CPV 80000000), was valued at £19,000 and employs a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement.

This contract presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the education and training sector, particularly those specialising in apprenticeship programmes. With SCW as the contracting authority, such engagements foster long-term partnerships and allow SMEs to showcase their expertise in delivering high-quality training services. Despite Cambridge Spark Limited being the successful supplier, the ongoing requirement for skilled training provision means that similar businesses can prepare for future opportunity solicitations by actively engaging with procurement notices and maintaining strategic ties with SCW or similar commissioning bodies in the NHS network.
