## Summary

North Northamptonshire Council commissioned The Bedford College Group to deliver three Level 3 Installation and Maintenance Electrician apprenticeships. The training is intended to develop apprentices in installation and maintenance electrical work, with the training provider responsible for delivery. The stated cost is to be funded in full through the apprenticeship levy. The service is associated with North Northamptonshire Council and delivery is in the United Kingdom; no more precise training location is identified. This is a skills-training service rather than a purchase of electrical installation works or equipment. The procurement is specifically for three apprenticeships at Level 3, so it is relevant to colleges and other providers able to deliver this occupational training, rather than contractors seeking a works contract.

The procurement is complete: The Bedford College Group was selected, and the contract is active and signed. The council used a below-threshold route; the recorded method details do not identify a more specific procedure. There was one lot, covering all three apprenticeships. The stated total contract cost is £69,000 gross, or £23,000 per apprenticeship, funded through the apprenticeship levy. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 25 September 2026 to 12 September 2031, a training period described as five years. The recorded award has no separate award date or award value; the contract value and signing date are given above. The procurement data does not describe evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements.

For education and training providers, this award shows demand from North Northamptonshire Council for Level 3 electrician apprenticeship delivery, covering installation and maintenance skills for three learners. A credible future competitor would need the capacity to support a small cohort over a multi-year training programme and the ability to deliver the relevant occupational training through an apprenticeship-levy-funded arrangement. The selected provider is a large college group, evidence that an established training organisation can meet the requirement; the procurement does not set out particular accreditations, facilities or experience thresholds. Providers with suitable electrician apprenticeship provision and the operational capacity to sustain training and learner support over the programme are the closest fit. The opportunity is specific to this buyer’s apprenticeship requirement, rather than electrical contracting or general training services.
