## Summary

The public procurement process initiated by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) has progressed to the award stage for the "Level 6 Embedded Electronics Apprenticeship" project. This contract, categorised under services, specifically targets education and training services within the Salisbury region (UKK15), United Kingdom. Conducted through a direct procurement method, this process was executed below the threshold without competition, culminating in a contract awarded to SOLENT UNIVERSITY LIMITED on 1st October 2025. The contract is slated to run from the commencement date through to 21st March 2029, reflecting a comprehensive engagement over several years in delivering this educational service.

This tender provides an opportunity for growth, especially for organisations specialising in educational and training services, as the project entails an embedded electronics apprenticeship programme. Although the contract favoured direct procurement due to its nature, businesses offering complementary or supplementary training programmes in technical or scientific fields might find potential avenues for collaboration or future participation in similar tenders issued by central government bodies, particularly those involving specialised education in science and technology.
