## Summary

Cambridgeshire County Council procured apprenticeship training for its colleagues: up to 10 Associate Project Manager Level 4 apprenticeships. The requirement is for a training provider to deliver the programme, rather than for project management consultancy or project delivery services. The work is associated with the council and delivery is listed at PE28 4YE, in Cambridgeshire. This is an education and training service. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the council is the buyer.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to QA Limited. The award date was 17 July 2026, and the stated contract period runs from 20 July 2026 to 20 July 2026. The awarded value is £42,000. The council used a limited procedure described as a competitive quotation below the applicable threshold. The original quotation deadline was 17 July 2026 at 12 noon. The requirement was for up to 10 apprenticeships; the award information reports a single supplier and gives no separate lot outcomes. No evaluation criteria are included in the process information.

The award demonstrates demand from Cambridgeshire County Council for a provider able to deliver Level 4 Associate Project Manager apprenticeship training to council employees, on a small cohort scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide the relevant apprenticeship programme and the teaching, learner support and delivery capacity to serve public-sector staff. QA Limited was selected, showing that a large training provider competed successfully; SMEs were also considered suitable for the procurement. Providers whose offer is focused on general project management consultancy, rather than apprenticeship training and delivery, are less closely aligned with this requirement. The outcome indicates a competitive quotation route for a below-threshold purchase.
