## Summary

The Cabinet Office, located in London, England, has completed the procurement process for two significant contracts within the education and training services industry. The first contract involves awarding Level 7 Systems Thinking Apprenticeship Training to the University of Exeter, valued at £14,914, using a selective procurement method through a dynamic purchasing system, effective from 13 March 2025 to 30 June 2028. The second contract, awarded to KPMG LLP for Civil Service learning and development services, extends from 1 August 2024 to 30 April 2026, with a total value of £223,200,000. This procurement was conducted via a negotiated procedure without prior publication due to the contract's value being above the threshold. Both tenders focus on the development of skills and competencies within the United Kingdom.

These contracts present substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in educational services and training frameworks. Organisations, particularly large entities with the capability to handle extensive learning and development projects, would find these contracts suitable. As the contracts underscore commitments to continuity and innovation in public sector training, they allow suppliers to leverage their expertise in delivering quality apprenticeship programmes and professional development services. SME involvement is encouraged in the Systems Thinking Apprenticeship tender, providing an avenue for smaller firms with specialised knowledge in this domain to enhance their market presence.
