## Summary

County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust has completed the award of a contract titled "Operations Manager Apprenticeship" to The Education Training Collective. This procurement, initiated via a tender, falls under the education and training services category and is part of the Salisbury NHS Apprenticeship Training Framework. The contract has a total value of £27,000 and covers three Operations Manager Apprenticeships over a 24-month period, starting from 17th June 2025 and ending on 16th June 2027. The procurement process utilised selective methods via a call-off from a framework agreement, targeting large-scale suppliers rather than small and medium-sized enterprises or VCSEs. The contracting authority is based in Darlington, North East England, with operations spanning the locality.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses offering specialised educational and training services, particularly those already involved in framework agreements. Companies with established expertise in delivering educational programmes and strategies to large-scale organisations, such as NHS Trusts, would be well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes. The focus on operational manager apprenticeship training suggests a demand for high-quality, strategic educational services, potentially fostering business development for organisations that can deliver personalised and effective training solutions within the healthcare sector.
