## Summary

North Northamptonshire Council procured apprenticeship training services in arboriculture: five Level 4 Arboriculturist places and one Level 6 Professional Arboriculturist place. The programme is intended to develop arboricultural staff through structured training, with payments funded fully through the apprenticeship levy. The buying organisation is North Northamptonshire Council, based at The Corby Cube in Corby. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The requirement is classified as education and training services and is a single service lot. It is relevant to colleges, training providers and other organisations with the capability to deliver regulated or structured arboriculture apprenticeship programmes at Levels 4 and 6, including provision for both technical development and professional arboriculturist training.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Myerscough College. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. The award covers one lot and the contract was signed on 20 May 2026. The active contract runs from 20 May 2026 to 1 May 2030, with a gross value of £92,000. The requirement comprises five Level 4 places priced at £14,000 each and one Level 6 place priced at £22,000. The stated evaluation route was the direct-award method rather than a competitive tender, so no scored evaluation basis or bidder selection criteria are reported. The selected supplier is Myerscough College.

This award demonstrates a defined need from North Northamptonshire Council for specialist arboriculture apprenticeship delivery, funded through the apprenticeship levy and covering both intermediate and advanced professional training. A future competitor would need credible capability to provide Level 4 Arboriculturist and Level 6 Professional Arboriculturist programmes, manage multiple apprentice places, and deliver training over a multi-year service period. Providers with established arboriculture teaching resources, suitably experienced trainers, learner support arrangements and the operational capacity to administer levy-funded apprenticeships would be well placed to assess similar requirements from this buyer. Myerscough College’s selection also indicates that a specialist education provider with relevant arboricultural training capability can meet the council’s requirement.
