## Summary

The Department for Business and Trade bought blended-learning apprenticeship training and end-point assessment for the Level 4 Professional Accounting Technician Apprenticeship. The requirement was for up to 12 apprentices and covers both their training and assessment. This is education and professional training services, rather than the supply of accounting staff or general consultancy. The recorded delivery scope spans the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buyer is the Department for Business and Trade, based in London. The apprenticeship is aimed at developing professional accounting technician skills; suppliers need to provide a blended learning programme and the associated end-point assessment for participants.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. BPP Professional Education Limited was selected, with an award value of £144,000. The contract runs from 23 October 2026 to 8 October 2029. The tender closed on 22 October 2026. The buyer used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The requirement was for up to 12 apprentices over a three-year period. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable. The published outcome identifies the supplier and contract value, but gives no evaluation criteria or scoring basis. This is one award; no separate lot outcomes are recorded.

For providers of accounting apprenticeships, this award shows that the Department for Business and Trade buys blended Level 4 professional accounting technician training together with end-point assessment, for a cohort of up to 12 apprentices. A credible competitor would need to deliver both elements as one coherent service, support learners through blended teaching, and provide the assessment that completes the apprenticeship. The award went to BPP Professional Education Limited, a small and medium-sized enterprise, demonstrating that this requirement was delivered by an SME. The procurement route was a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers seeking comparable work from this buyer would need to be positioned to compete through that route. The service had a multi-year delivery period and a geographically broad stated scope, making learner delivery and assessment across those locations relevant capabilities.
