## Summary

The public procurement process titled "CPCA Region-Wide Careers and Work Experience Infrastructure" has been completed under the authority of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, located at Pathfinder House, St Mary's Street, Huntingdon, UK. The project focuses on expanding apprenticeship and work-experience opportunities for young people aged 16-21 across the region using a digital platform. Under a direct procurement method, classified as 'Below threshold - without competition', the process concluded with the award finalised on 10 April 2026. The contracts span from 11 March 2026 to 31 August 2028 in the services category, specifically within information technology services.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for service-based businesses, particularly those specialising in information technology solutions. Ideal contenders for similar opportunities include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can deliver innovative digital platforms or enhancements to existing systems. With a contract value of £60,000, the successful integration into the CPCA's regional school network provides a strategic advantage for businesses looking to solidify their footprint within the public sector. Such projects are well-suited to companies like DEGREEAPPRENTICEMEDIA LTD, which successfully navigated the awarded contract through this tailored procurement process.

## Notice

A core element of the Youth Guarantee is to expand apprenticeship and work-experience opportunities for young people aged 16-21 across the region. To achieve this, we propose the deployment of a digital platform across CPCA schools that will centralise apprenticeship opportunities and applications in one accessible location. Following this initial deployment, we will commission the development of an extension within the platform to incorporate work-experience opportunities.
