## Summary

The procurement process involves the Crown Commercial Service, located in Liverpool, which is undertaking a variation to the existing contract for the "Provision of Apprenticeship Training for the CCS Level 2 Customer Service Practitioner Apprenticeship Programme." This tender falls under the training programme services category and has a value of £20,125. The contract period is set from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022, with the procurement method being a variation to an existing contract. The award was published on 9 June 2021, highlighting the completion of the tendering stage.

This opportunity presents potential for growth for businesses that specialise in training programme services, particularly those with experience in apprenticeships. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are likely to be well-suited for this contract, given the emphasis on SME involvement as indicated by the suitability assessment. Providers that can adapt to the needs of such apprenticeship programmes, especially those familiar with the challenges posed by the pandemic, would be well-positioned to compete effectively.

## Notice

Variation to amend the limit of liability for the requirement in addition to exercising the 12 month extension period in the original contract. The extension is utilised due to unforeseen delays to the beginning of the apprenticeship programme due to the onset of the pandemic. There are no additional costs involved with this variation.
