## Summary

The Local Government Association in London is currently seeking proposals for a tender titled "Increasing Apprenticeship Starts in Local Government," aimed at enhancing the number of apprentices within local authorities across England. This contract, which falls under the education and training services category, has a total value of £50,000, with a minimum value of £25,000. The procurement process is an open procedure and is at the tender stage, with submissions due by 5th August 2019. The contract period is set to begin on 19th August 2019 and will conclude on 31st March 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) experienced in local government operations and apprenticeship programme management. Businesses with the capability to partner with local authorities to enhance apprenticeship initiatives may find this a fitting opportunity to expand their service offerings, particularly those that can deliver effective strategic support over the eight-month contract period.

## Notice

Local authorities are working hard to increase the number of apprentices in their workforce to make use of the Government's Apprenticeship Levy and meet their Public Sector Targets. The LGA is seeking a strategic partner to work with them to support the 151 large councils in England so they will maximise their apprenticeship levy spend and deliver more starts. We are seeking bids from individuals, organisations or sole traders to provide 8 months national support. The successful bidder will demonstrate they have a combination of local government sector specific expertise and relevant technical expertise on how to effectively manage and deliver all aspects of a successful apprenticeship programme in a council. All work carried out will be independently evaluated throughout the programme. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
