## Summary

The public procurement process conducted by UK Shared Business Services Limited has resulted in the award of a contract titled "GSS25251 - CIPD requirement" for education and training services. This contract is part of the Advisory, Conciliation, and Arbitration Service (Acas) requirement for apprenticeships via the CCS RM6102 Apprenticeship Training Dynamic Marketplace DPS. The procurement process was conducted selectively through a call-off from a framework agreement, and the successful supplier is Babington Business College Ltd. The award was officially made on 5th August 2025 and published on 13th August 2025, with the contract period spanning from 5th August 2025 to 3rd August 2029. The contract covers services within the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in education and training, particularly those capable of providing apprenticeship training services. Given the emphasis on selective procurement methods, businesses with demonstrated experience and competency in fulfilling such services can find avenues for growth by participating in similar frameworks. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can align their offerings with apprenticeship needs, may be well-positioned to benefit from this and future tender opportunities within this sector. The sizeable contract value of £226,000 underscores the potential impact and business growth prospects for the organisations involved. Babington Business College Ltd, being a large-scale provider, exemplifies the type of enterprise well-suited for such competitive procurement initiatives.
