## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is spearheading a procurement process for a "Combined Digital Apprenticeships EPA Contract," which is currently in the planning stage. This procurement, set to operate within the education and training services industry, focuses on providing end-point assessments. The process is being organised from Army Headquarters, Marlborough Lines, Andover, United Kingdom. The overall contract value is estimated at £9,000,000 with a gross budget of £7,500,000. Key dates include a future notice date set for 1st June 2027, with the contract period anticipated to start on 1st July 2028 and conclude by 30th June 2033. Initially scheduled to compete earlier, the requirement was deferred by up to 24 months due to reprioritisation within the Army Apprenticeships programme.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in education and training services, especially those capable of providing high-quality end-point assessments. The procurement explicitly supports participation by SMEs and VCSEs, making it an attractive opportunity for smaller and socially conscious enterprises aiming to expand their government contract portfolio. With a substantial budget and an extended contract period, businesses with expertise in digital learning and apprenticeship assessments would find this tender particularly compelling as a means to drive growth and enter markets within the public sector.
