## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is overseeing a completed public procurement process titled "Pilot STEM scheme," which falls under the education and training services category. The focus of this procurement is a pilot STEM scheme delivered in collaboration with Primary Engineer for the academic year beginning September 2025, specifically targeting the UK region. The contract, valued at £55,000, was signed on 5th January 2026 and is currently in the 'Award' stage. This limited procurement methodology was chosen due to the technical rationale that only a specific supplier could meet the project needs within the required timeframe. 

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses operating within the education and training services sector, particularly those familiar with STEM-related projects or possessing innovative approaches to education. The limited competition noted in this procurement suggests the presence of niche expertise requirements, making it an ideal contract for specialised SMEs like Primary Engineer LTD, which has been actively engaged. By participating in such tenders, businesses can forge closer ties with key governmental authorities and position themselves as leaders in providing educational services to bolster the young workforce's interest in vital sectors such as shipbuilding.
