## Summary

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA), a central government public authority situated in London, has completed the procurement process titled "VOA Invest in Apprentices (IIP Accreditation)". This service contract, which commenced on 9th February 2026 and will run until 8th February 2029, focuses on assessing the VOA against the Invest In Apprentices framework to support the agency's commitment to its apprenticeships. The procurement method was "direct" and occurred below the threshold without competition, as per the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54. Investors in People (IIP), a large-scale supplier, won the award, which was activated on 14th January 2026. The contract value was set at £21,600 net (or £25,920 gross), and the services fall under the category of business services, including law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses involved in consultancy and assessment services, especially those with a focus on accreditation and organisational development. Companies with expertise in frameworks for assessing apprenticeships and a track record in working with government agencies would find such opportunities rewarding. Furthermore, businesses offering ancillary business services like law and marketing may find partnership prospects as the VOA seeks to enhance its apprentice support quality through the recommendations derived from this assessment.
