## Summary

Defra Commercial procured education and training services for 20 Asset Manager Level 4 apprenticeships or training places under standard ST0861. The requirement is described as “Asset Manager Level 4 ST0861 X 20”, indicating a programme focused on developing asset management capability at Level 4. The buying organisation is Defra Commercial, based at 17 Smith Square, London. Delivery covers the United Kingdom and may also involve locations in Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a services opportunity for organisations that provide vocational education, professional training or apprenticeship delivery in asset management.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Teesside University. Defra Commercial used a direct single-tender action below the threshold. The tender deadline was 8 August 2026 at 12:00. The award was made on 10 September 2026 for £180,000, with an active contract running from 8 September 2026 to 8 March 2028. There was one award and one supplier. The requirement was evaluated through the selected single-tender route rather than an open competition. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations, although the recorded award went to Teesside University.

This award shows that Defra Commercial has a defined need for Level 4 asset management training delivered at a substantial scale, covering 20 learners or places and potentially serving participants across multiple geographies. A credible future competitor would need to provide structured education or apprenticeship delivery aligned to the Asset Manager Level 4 ST0861 standard, with the teaching, assessment and learner-support capability required for a recognised Level 4 programme. Providers should be able to manage delivery for a public-sector customer and support geographically dispersed participants where required. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations indicates that smaller specialist training providers and mission-led organisations may be relevant competitors.
