## Summary

Defra Commercial procured education and training services for 20 Associate Project Manager Level 4 apprenticeships or training places under standard ST0310. The requirement is for project-management training at Level 4, rather than construction, engineering or general consultancy work. The buyer is Defra Commercial, based at 17 Smith Square in London. Delivery is associated with London and the United Kingdom, with the procurement also identifying the British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man and the rest of the world as possible delivery locations. This is a service opportunity suited to training providers with an established project-management education offer and the ability to support learners across the stated geographical coverage.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a single tender action below the threshold, using a direct procurement method. The contract was awarded to BPP Professional Education Limited on 10 September 2026 for £140,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 16 November 2026 to 16 May 2028. The tender submission deadline was 16 October 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was classified as education and training services and identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active and covers the full requirement for Associate Project Manager Level 4 ST0310 training places.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates Defra Commercial’s demand for structured Level 4 project-management training delivered at meaningful cohort scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a recognised, well-organised training operation able to deliver the Associate Project Manager Level 4 standard, manage learner enrolment and progression, and provide consistent teaching and assessment. Relevant strengths would include experienced project-management tutors, robust quality assurance, learner and employer support, and the operational capacity to coordinate a sizeable group rather than isolated individual training. Providers should also be able to work with a central government buyer, meet public-sector reporting and governance expectations, and deliver across the geographical coverage relevant to Defra’s workforce.
