The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), in collaboration with the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), has concluded a procurement process for Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeships under the title "CSP25059 - HR - DESNZ - Supply of Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeships - Business Administration". This contract, valued at £126,000, falls under the category of training services (CPV: 80500000) and encompasses delivery locations including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the United Kingdom, and other international regions. The procurement, managed by ICS on behalf of DSIT and DESNZ, was conducted using a selective method as a call-off from a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), RM6102 Apprenticeship Training Dynamic Marketplace.

Competitors in this arena would likely benefit from a robust relational network and a proven track record in business administration education services.
