## Summary

The Crown Commercial Service, located in Liverpool, England, is currently overseeing the procurement process for the Apprenticeships Training Dynamic Marketplace. This initiative is within the education and training services industry, covering a wide geographical area including the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, Guernsey, and Jersey. The procurement is being conducted under a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) with a significant budget of £800 million. This DPS is set under the Light Touch Regime (LTR) involving selective procurement through a restricted procedure, and it spans a total duration of 9 years and 7 months ending on 27 October 2028. Bidders can participate throughout the 115-month timeline, potentially influencing future contract periods commencing 28 October 2028. The current procurement stage reflects a tender amendment issued on 4 December 2025.

With the vast scope of the Apprenticeships Training Dynamic Marketplace, businesses specialising in education and training services have ample opportunity to grow. Particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, this tender enables them to align with existing Apprenticeship Standards and End Point Assessments (EPAs). Businesses registered with the Education and Skills Funding Agency are encouraged to join the Apprenticeship Training Providers Register, enhancing their visibility in providing skilled training solutions. With the selective involvement of various suppliers under the DPS framework, companies can expand service innovation and establish collaborative partnerships within the central government and wider public sector. Participation in this marketplace promises substantial engagement across apprenticeship training domains, allowing vendors to play pivotal roles in shaping educational frameworks in England.
