## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions procured delivery of the Level 6 Digital and Technology Solutions Apprenticeship, standard ST0119, for its employees. This is a staff training service, covering apprenticeship provision rather than the supply of digital technology itself. Delivery is based in England, with the buyer’s address in London. The requirement is for an organisation able to provide structured, advanced digital and technology apprenticeship training to a government workforce. The selected provider is Blackpool and the Fylde College, a further education organisation based in Blackpool. The procurement sits within the services category and was arranged through the Department for Work and Pensions as the buying organisation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Blackpool and the Fylde College on 5 August 2026. The award value is £405,000. The contract runs from 27 July 2026 to 26 October 2032. The original tender deadline was 27 March 2026 at 17:00 UTC. The route was a selective call-off from the RM6102 framework agreement, rather than an open standalone competition. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process. It was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. One supplier and one requirement were awarded, with the contract covering the apprenticeship service for Department for Work and Pensions employees.

For suppliers assessing future demand, this award demonstrates a substantial, long-term requirement for advanced digital and technology apprenticeship delivery within a central government department. Credible competitors would need to deliver the Level 6 Digital and Technology Solutions Apprenticeship ST0119 to employees at organisational scale, with the teaching, learner support, assessment and programme management capability expected of an apprenticeship provider. Experience of serving public sector workforces and operating through the relevant framework route would be commercially important. Providers should be able to maintain consistent delivery across England and manage a sizeable, multi-year training commitment for a large employer, while aligning apprenticeship outcomes with digital and technology workforce development needs.
