## Summary

Oxford City Council is overseeing a procurement process titled "Apprenticeship Delivery" in the education and training services industry. This initiative involves tailored apprenticeship training for Level 3 and 4 apprenticeships in AI, Data, and Business Transformation, leveraging apprenticeship levy transfers. The process, identified under procurementMethod as direct award, has reached the award stage as of 9 September 2025. The contract, valued at £360,000 including VAT, covers educational services in the United Kingdom's South East region, specifically at Oxford Town Hall. The procurement aligns with direct award criteria due to the absence of alternative providers capable of delivering the required level of apprenticeship training, extending an existing agreement initially established in December 2024.

For businesses aiming to grow, this tender provides significant opportunities, particularly for large-scale entities experienced in delivering advanced apprenticeship programmes in AI and related fields. It is ideally suited for companies that have established capabilities and resources to support apprenticeships through partnership dynamics, like Multiverse Group Limited, already engaged as the supplier. The contract terms include options to adjust the number of delegates, allowing businesses to scale and tailor their offerings, thereby enhancing their market presence in educational services. This procurement reflects an expanding demand for specialised training and development within public authority frameworks, fostering potential expansion for adept service providers dealing in strategic learning and transformation initiatives.

## Notice

Delivery of tailored apprenticeship training for Level 3 and 4 apprenticeships in AI, Data and Business Transformation, allowing for transfer of apprenticeship levy from levy paying employers that have surplus funds to employers that have exhausted their funds. Continuation of Master Services Agreement established in December 2024. To be continued for a further cohorts of students in 2025/2026. Value including VAT: PS360,000

### Procurement Information

The contracting authority wishes to purchase additional services which are the same as those already supplied. A change of supplier would result in receiving services that are different from services already received. Additionally, there is an absence of alternative providers able to deliver the apprenticeship training at the required level, aligned to the specific business tools of the Council. The funding for this agreement is via apprenticeship levy's; both the allocation of the contracting authority and levy transfer from employers with surplus funds.
