## Summary

The Department for Education (DfE) has completed a procurement process for the delivery of up to five Data Engineer apprenticeships. This contract, valued at £95,000, falls under the Education and Training Services category and is to be implemented through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender was managed in a selective manner, suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and targets several UK regions including the North East, North West, and London, among others. The procurement process reached the award stage on 20 May 2026, following the closing of the tender period on 16 April 2026. The contract period spans from 23 April 2026 to 31 March 2027.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly those that can offer robust apprenticeship programmes tailored to public sector needs. SMEs with expertise in data engineering training are particularly well-suited to compete, given the contract’s focus and delivery model. The procurement method allows for targeted selection, providing a competitive yet focused environment, and engaging with a notable public sector organisation like the DfE can further enhance a business’s visibility and credibility in delivering specialised educational services. Additionally, the geographical scope across various prominent regions supports potential scaling and expansion for service providers.
