## Summary

North Northamptonshire Council procured a Level 6 Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship service for two apprentices. The programme covers higher-level management education and apprenticeship training, with delivery over a four-year period. Training is funded in full through the apprenticeship levy, with the funding drawn by the University of Bedfordshire. The procurement is categorised as education and training services (CPV 80000000). The contracting authority is North Northamptonshire Council, based at The Corby Cube in Corby. Delivery is identified in the United Kingdom, within the East Midlands area. This opportunity is therefore relevant to universities, higher education providers and specialist apprenticeship or management-training organisations able to deliver a Level 6 Chartered Manager apprenticeship for public-sector staff.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to the University of Bedfordshire following a below-threshold limited competition. It used a limited procurement method under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 18 May 2026 and runs from 18 May 2026 to 31 December 2030. Its total value is £44,000 including and excluding tax as reported, for the single lot. The requirement covers two apprentices, at £22,000 each, over 48 months. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies the University of Bedfordshire as the selected supplier. The procurement record does not set out a separate weighted evaluation basis beyond the limited-competition route.

This award demonstrates a defined public-sector requirement for a higher-education provider capable of delivering a Level 6 Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship to a very small cohort over an extended programme. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need an established management and apprenticeship education offer, suitable academic delivery capability, and the capacity to support apprentices throughout a multi-year programme. Familiarity with apprenticeship levy arrangements is commercially relevant because the training is funded through that mechanism. A credible competitor would also need to work effectively with a local authority as employer and buyer, administer learner delivery reliably, and provide a recognised pathway combining degree-level study with chartered management development. The successful supplier’s profile shows that a large university can meet this requirement, while specialist training organisations with equivalent capability may also be relevant when similar provision returns to market.
