## Summary

Cambridgeshire County Council has completed a procurement process for delivering Social Worker Level 6 Apprenticeships, with a cohort starting in January/February 2025. The procurement, categorized under education and training services (CPV code 80000000), sought a training provider to deliver the programme. The evaluation process concluded on 19th June 2024, with the contract awarded to the University of East Anglia. The contract period begins on 3rd December 2024 and runs until 1st September 2028. This contracting process involved a competitive quotation method due to its below-threshold value, amounting to £480,000 GBP. The apprenticeships will be based in Alconbury, England, with delivery at the postal code PE28 4YE.

This tender presents an opportunity for educational institutions and training providers specialising in social work to enter or expand within the public sector market. Engaging with this programme allows providers to demonstrate their expertise in creating and delivering accredited apprenticeship schemes. Given the focus on a specific sector, it is best suited for large-scale institutions, although SMEs and VCSEs were not the primary target for this procurement. Businesses that have a track record in similar educational services will find this opportunity valuable for building long-term relationships with local government and enhancing their service portfolios.
