## Summary

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured Business Administrator Level 3 apprenticeship training and End Point Assessment services. The requirement covers education and training services for business administration apprentices, including delivery of the apprenticeship programme and assessment at the end of the programme. The work is delivered in the United Kingdom. The buyer is based in Swindon and operates as a shared business services organisation. This is a services contract rather than a supply of goods or construction works. The requirement is relevant to apprenticeship training providers, further education organisations and specialist end-point assessment providers able to support Level 3 business administration apprenticeships across the UK.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 16 July 2026 to Babington Business College Limited. The award value is £10,000. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 December 2027. The buyer used a limited procedure through a competitive quotation below the threshold, described as a rapid-response competition. The tender submission deadline was 15 July 2026 at 11:00. The contract was awarded to a single supplier, with evaluation conducted through the competitive quotation process. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier is Babington Business College Limited.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award confirms demand from UK Shared Business Services Limited for a focused business administration apprenticeship and end-point assessment service. A credible future competitor would need to deliver the full Level 3 Business Administrator apprenticeship requirement, provide suitable teaching and learner support, and complete the associated End Point Assessment service. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist provider rather than only a large national organisation. Relevant businesses are apprenticeship training providers, colleges and organisations with established capability in business administration education and end-point assessment, together with the capacity to support learners and meet public-sector service requirements.
