## Summary

The Ministry of Defence procured advanced engineering apprenticeship training for its workforce. The requirement covers personnel-training services delivered across the United Kingdom, under the CCCT/873 requirement. It involves three engineering apprenticeship cohorts, with one intake each year, and each cohort lasting three years. Delivery also includes additional time for end-point assessments and close-out activities. The buyer is the Ministry of Defence, based at MOD Abbey Wood in Bristol. The requirement is intended for a specialist apprenticeship and engineering training provider able to support learners through the full programme, including assessment and completion activity. The selected provider is Weston College of Further and Higher Education, based in Weston-super-Mare.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Ministry of Defence used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a competition, through the Apprenticeship Training Dynamic Marketplace (RM6102) rapid procurement option. Suppliers were assessed using information in their prospectuses, with price as the stated award criterion; one bid was recorded. The award to Weston College of Further and Higher Education is active. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and is valued at £899,500. The planned contract period runs from 7 August 2026 to 6 July 2032. The procurement record also shows the associated lot as cancelled, while the award and contract remain active. Optional extensions covered one further cohort expiring in July 2033 and another expiring in July 2034.

This award demonstrates demand from the Ministry of Defence for substantial, multi-cohort advanced engineering apprenticeship delivery rather than one-off training. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide apprenticeship training at scale, organise annual engineering intakes, support learners throughout a three-year programme, and manage end-point assessments and close-out work. Experience delivering recognised apprenticeship training and the operational capacity to coordinate several cohorts would be important. The procurement route also indicates that suppliers may need to present a clear prospectus through the Apprenticeship Training Dynamic Marketplace, enabling a desktop assessment without a conventional tender. Providers with engineering training capability, established apprenticeship systems and sufficient delivery capacity are therefore the closest comparators.
