## Summary

Portsmouth City Council procured apprenticeship training focused on AI-related apprenticeship units. The service is described as the delivery of apprenticeship training by Northeastern University London, with training services as the relevant classification. The council is the public-sector buyer, and delivery is associated with Portsmouth, within the South East of England. The requirement is for a specialist education and training provider rather than the supply of goods or construction works. It may be relevant to universities, further-education organisations and other providers with the academic, teaching and administrative capability to deliver apprenticeship-based learning in artificial intelligence or related subjects. The procurement covers one service requirement and was awarded to Northeastern University London.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Northeastern University London. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with a maximum extent to 31 August 2031. It includes a renewal option described as four years. The awarded contract value is £50,000 gross. Portsmouth City Council used a below-threshold procedure; the recorded procedure detail is ‘below threshold - unknown’. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement, but the published outcome does not set out award weightings, selection criteria, submission arrangements or a tender deadline. There was one completed lot.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for apprenticeship training in AI-related subjects from Portsmouth City Council, delivered by a large specialist higher-education provider. Suppliers considering comparable public-sector work would need credible capability to design and deliver apprenticeship learning, support learners through an organised training programme and provide teaching expertise relevant to artificial intelligence. A university or established training organisation with experience of apprenticeship delivery would be well placed to assess the requirement. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold route and a single service lot indicates a relatively focused purchase rather than a large multi-lot programme. Relevant competitors should be able to show an appropriate academic offer, reliable delivery arrangements and the organisational capacity to support the council’s apprenticeship training needs.
