## Summary

Homes England, operating under the name adopted by the Homes and Communities Agency, has completed a procurement process titled "Levy-funded apprenticeships to upskill colleagues," geared towards the education and training services industry. This initiative is located within the United Kingdom and involves several providers over a contract period from 2 January 2025 to 1 April 2030. Tagged as "award," the procurement process involved multiple stages leading to the awarding phase, finalised on 1 January 2025, with an overall contract value of £309,238 GBP. The process did not specify a particular procurement method, categorizing it under services with vocational elements and is not particularly geared toward SMEs or VCSEs.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth within the education and training sector, particularly appealing to large-scale educational institutions and vocational service providers. With suppliers such as Northeastern University, University of Birmingham, and Multiverse among others, businesses specialising in apprenticeship delivery can benefit from long-term contracts and stable funding from the apprenticeship levy. Organisations with robust capabilities in delivering vocational training that aligns with upskilling and continuing professional development will find this procurement an advantageous avenue for partnership with national agencies like Homes England, thereby fostering substantial business expansion in structured educational frameworks.
