## Summary

The public procurement process conducted by the Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust culminated in the award of a contract for Senior Healthcare Support Worker, Level 3 Apprenticeships. Located in the North East of England, this tender falls under the "Education and training services" industry category. The procurement stage has reached the Award phase as of 22nd July 2025, with the contract being awarded to Derwentside College. The apprenticeship scheme, valued at £90,000, was procured through a framework agreement and spans from 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2027. The tender method employed was selective, involving a call-off from the Salisbury NHS Apprenticeship Training Framework, expiring in March 2027.

This tender provides a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in vocational education and workforce development, especially those with capabilities in healthcare training. Although this particular contract focused on apprenticeships, companies that aim to partner with public health institutions could notably expand their portfolio within the educational services domain. Such collaborations can be advantageous for large-scale vocational training institutions that are not classified as an SME or VCSE, as these entities possess the necessary scale and infrastructure to support extensive apprenticeship programs. Engaging in similar procurement opportunities can aid in establishing long-term relationships with public healthcare buyers like the NHS Trust.
