## Summary

The Government Commercial Agency (GCA) is planning a significant procurement process titled "Apprenticeship Training," aimed at central government and broader public sector organisations in the United Kingdom. This planned procurement, initiated as a tender, is categorized under services, specifically education and training services (CPV code: 80000000). Based in Liverpool, the GCA seeks to establish a framework agreement for procuring apprenticeship training and related services to replace its previous RM6102 agreement. The process is currently in the planning stage, with an anticipated communication date of 13th October 2027 and an expected contract period starting on 12th April 2028 and ending on 11th April 2036. The planned framework has an estimated gross value of £6 billion.

This upcoming tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the education and training sectors, particularly those experienced in apprenticeship standards and related educational services. The scale and scope of the contract, worth an estimated £5 billion, make it a lucrative opportunity for established providers capable of offering comprehensive training programs, including End Point Assessments. Firms with a robust track record of delivering quality education and training services to public sector entities are well-suited to compete in this tender, contributing to business growth and expansion within the public sector marketplace.

## Notice
