## Summary

North Northamptonshire Council procured Level 2 Property Maintenance Operative apprenticeship training. The requirement is an education and training service for up to six apprenticeship places, intended to develop property maintenance operatives. Delivery is in the East Midlands. The training is provided by The Bedford College Group, a large education and training organisation, for the council. The apprenticeship training is funded through the apprenticeship levy. The work is therefore relevant to further-education colleges, apprenticeship providers and other organisations able to deliver structured Level 2 training for property maintenance roles. It may also interest providers with established links to employers or public-sector bodies in the East Midlands, although the procurement records the service specifically against North Northamptonshire Council’s requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. The Bedford College Group was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 2 October 2025 and runs from 2 October 2025 to 1 December 2027. Its gross and net value is £84,000. The tender description gives a cost of £13,000 per apprentice and states that the arrangement covers a maximum of six places. The award concerns education and training services, evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract is active, and the apprenticeship training is fully funded through the apprenticeship levy.

For a provider assessing future demand from this buyer, the award shows a requirement for a defined Level 2 apprenticeship in property maintenance, delivered at a scale of up to six learner places. A credible competitor would need the capability to provide apprenticeship training specifically for property maintenance operative roles, manage learner places and deliver the programme over a multi-year period. Experience of apprenticeship-levy-funded provision would be commercially relevant, as would the capacity to work with a public authority and support delivery in the East Midlands. The successful supplier was a large education and training organisation, indicating that established training infrastructure and the operational capacity to sustain the programme were sufficient for this requirement.
