## Summary

The Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust has completed the award stage of a tender process titled "Operation/Departmental Manager, Level 5 (ST0385)" under a call-off contract through the Salisbury NHS Apprenticeship Training Framework. This contract, valued at £72,000, encompasses services in the "Education and training services" industry category, specifically within the North East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method was selective, meaning that it was drawn from a pre-existing framework agreement. The contract will operate for a period beginning on 1st September 2025 and concluding on 31st August 2027, following the award made to Lighthouse (Training and Development) Ltd on 16th July 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in providing education and training services, particularly those capable of delivering apprenticeship training. Although the procurement favoured established suppliers through a framework, businesses seeking similar opportunities within the public sector may benefit by positioning themselves to join such framework agreements in future. Companies specialising in educational services, especially those focusing on training for managerial roles, would find the experience gained from participating in similar calls advantageous for their strategic growth in this sector.
