## Summary

The Local Government Association (LGA) has initiated a tender titled "Increasing Apprenticeship Starts in Local Government" aimed at enhancing apprenticeship opportunities within local councils in England. This procurement process is classified under education and training services, with a budget ranging from £50,000 to £100,000. The tender period is active, concluding on 6 April 2018, and the contract is set to commence on 1 May 2018 and will run until 31 March 2019. The procurement method is open, allowing a wide range of participants to submit proposals.

This opportunity presents significant potential for growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) interested in supporting public-sector apprenticeship initiatives. Businesses that specialise in education and training services, as well as those that have experience in managing apprenticeship programmes, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging with the LGA in this strategic partnership can enable these organisations to expand their reach and contribute to national apprenticeship goals.

## Notice

The government has made a commitment to create 3 million apprenticeship starts by 2020. The LGA is seeking a strategic partner to work with them to support the 151 large councils in England so they will maximise their apprenticeship levy spend and achieve their public-sector apprenticeship targets. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
