## Summary

The public procurement process conducted by The North Yorkshire Council involves the provision of End Point Assessment Services for Apprenticeship Standards, primarily targeting Adult Care and Leadership standards. The contract with NCFE is for services delivered primarily online and occasionally hybrid or face-to-face, catering to council-employed apprentices within North Yorkshire. Initiated as a tender, the procurement stage has reached the award phase, with the contract's status now active, commencing on 1st August 2026 and scheduled to conclude by 31st July 2028, with the possibility of a 24-month extension up to 1st August 2030. This project falls within the services category, utilising a below-threshold procurement process. The gross contract value is £72,000, and the main geographic focus is within the UKE22 region.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in adult education services, focusing on those capable of delivering comprehensive end-point assessments for apprenticeship standards. Companies with experience in online, hybrid, or face-to-face educational services would be well-positioned to compete successfully, particularly large-scale organisations familiar with servicing public sector contracts. The procurement method suggests opportunities for small to medium enterprises which can compete effectively below the main procurement threshold. There is potential for growth in partnerships or collaborations with public authorities, enhancing their portfolio and gaining insights from extended service delivery in a public-sector context. NCFE, as the awarded supplier, exemplifies readiness with its large-scale capabilities and VCSE status, setting a benchmark for interested competitors.
