## Summary

Wigan Council, located in Wigan, England, has concluded a public procurement process titled "Lot 2 - Business and Administration - Mini Competition." This initiative, classified under education and training services, involved the delivery of Level 4 Associate Project Manager apprenticeship programmes to up to 30 apprentices, with a total contract value of £270,000. The procurement stage has been marked as complete, with the contract period running from 1st June 2018 to 31st July 2019, following a tender period that ended on 16th May 2018. The purchasing authorities involved include Wigan Council, Wrightington, Wigan & Leigh NHS Foundation Trust, and Bridgewater Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.

This tender offers significant potential for growth for training organisations, particularly those with expertise in delivering apprenticeship programmes in project management. With a focus on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), qualified providers can leverage this opportunity to expand their service offerings in the North West region. Those businesses experienced in educational services, particularly in training delivery and apprenticeship standards, would be well-positioned to compete for future contracts of a similar nature.

## Notice

Wigan Council, Wrightington, Wigan & Leigh NHS Foundation Trust and Bridgewater Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust are seeking a training provider to deliver the Associate Project Manager apprenticeship standard at Level 4. This will be delivered to up to 30 apprentices across the purchasing bodies over a 12 month period.
