Apprenticeship Training

Crown Commercial Service · Central government

In brief

Crown Commercial Service has announced plans to buy training and education work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £5,000,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 8 years, starting 12 April 2028.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 16.5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 126 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £5,000,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

The GCA intends to establish a route to market to provide a route to market for central government and wider public sector organisations to procure apprenticeship training and related services. The commercial agreement is intended to offer apprenticeship standards, foundation apprenticeships and apprenticeship units approved for delivery by Skills England, including End Point Assessments. This agreement is intended to replace GCA's RM6102 commercial agreement. When contacting GCA regarding this agreement, please ensure that you reference the agreement details in all correspondence

How to bid
