## Summary

The West Midlands Fire Service conducted a procurement process for the "Leading Excellence Apprenticeship Programme" under the management training services category, with a contract estimated at £450,000. The procurement utilised a selective method through a dynamic purchasing system, and the contract was awarded to Encompass Consultancy Limited on 18 June 2018. The contract, covering a 24-month training programme starting from 1 September 2018, has options for two extensions for courses in September 2019 and September 2020. The tender period concluded on 18 May 2018, meaning all proposals had to be submitted by that date.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in training and educational services, particularly those that focus on apprenticeship schemes. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-positioned to compete, leveraging their expertise in management training and their capacity to deliver tailored educational programmes. Companies that can effectively collaborate with public sector organisations and demonstrate a capacity for high-quality training delivery will be especially competitive in this procurement process.
