## Summary

Sunderland City Council intends to procure apprenticeship training services for delivery in Sunderland. The work is classified as education and training services. The procurement is arranged as a single lot.

The process is at planning stage: the council has set out its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. It expects to use an open procedure and a framework agreement. The planned contract period runs from 20 January 2027 to 19 January 2031. The council expects to publish a further notice by 1 December 2026; this is an indicative publication date, not a bid deadline.

The council has identified the work as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Apprenticeship training providers in these groups may therefore find the planned procurement relevant. Suppliers should assess whether their training offer and delivery capability fit the council’s apprenticeship training requirement and prepare to review the procurement arrangements when further details are published.
