## Summary

The public procurement process for the "Social Worker Integrated Degree" has been completed by Kirklees Council, facilitated through the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) Apprenticeships and Associated Training Framework. This procurement falls under the industry category of education and training services and is specifically focussed on the delivery of specialised training in the Yorkshire and the Humber region, United Kingdom. The procurement was part of a selective process, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with The Open University being awarded the contract. The contract, valued at £30,000, is set to commence on 2nd February 2026 and will conclude on 31st July 2027, although it allows flexibility to extend for training completion due to unforeseen circumstances. Key dates include the tender period ending on 30th January 2026, and the award was officially announced on 30th January 2026.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses involved in providing educational services, particularly those specialising in higher education and vocational training. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), may find this contract particularly beneficial given its scope within the public sector's educational framework. The project's location in Yorkshire and the Humber and its focus on apprentice training programmes make it ideal for educational institutions and training providers who aim to expand their services or establish a foothold in public sector collaborations. Businesses with experience in managing framework contracts and those capable of delivering adaptable educational solutions would be well-suited to engage with similar opportunities in the future.
