The government will launch a £10 million procurement to deliver apprenticeships for civil servants within the Department for Education as early as spring next year, FE Week has learned.
According to the DfE’s estimated commercial pipeline for next year, it is looking for one or more suppliers to deliver 33 apprenticeship standards for staff within DfE and the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA).
The contract, named “apprenticeships for DfE colleagues 2024-2027”, is estimated to be worth £10 million and will be split into 18 lots.
FE Week has learned nine standards at level 3 and eight standards at level 4 will be on the table, including level 3 content creator, level 3 team leader or supervisor, level 4 data analyst, and level 4 project manager.
