The NAO intends to re-procure its Professional Accountancy and Apprenticeship Training contract to support tuition delivery for graduate and school-leaver trainees undertaking ICAEW qualifications, including ACA examinations. The procurement is expected to launch in late autumn 2026. The NAO is seeking an experienced, accredited training provider to deliver professional accountancy tuition and apprenticeship training for the following expected routes: •Level 6 Digital Financial Audit apprenticeships for graduates and school leavers, delivered over 48 months. This route combines the 12-month Certificate in Finance, Accounting and Business (CFAB) with a 36-month Level 6 applied degree apprenticeship in Digital Technology; and •Level 7 Accountancy Professional apprenticeships for eligible school leavers, delivered over 54 months. •ACA Professional qualification route for eligible graduates, delivered over 36 months. The new procurement is expected to cover Level 6 and Level 7 apprenticeship training only. While Level 4 Professional Accounting Technician apprenticeships are currently delivered under the NAO's existing arrangements and will continue with the incumbent supplier, they are not intended to form part of the new procurement. The contract may include scope for the NAO to introduce, offer or develop additional related apprenticeship routes or qualification programmes at different levels during the term, subject to business need, funding availability and agreement with the appointed provider. The estimated total value of the new procurement is up to £6 million (inclusive of VAT) over a five-year term. Although Level 4 delivery is not intended to form part of this new procurement, the estimated value has been set to accommodate the anticipated Level 6 and Level 7 apprenticeship routes, potential changes in demand, and the possible introduction of additional apprenticeship pathways, qualification programmes, or related services during the contract term. The anticipated contract term is three years, with an option to extend for up to a further two years, giving a maximum duration of five years. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planning - **CPV codes:** 80500000, 80510000, 80511000, 80570000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Contract Period:** 31/08/2027 to 31/08/2030 - **Renewal published:** yes ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F075315-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-08-07T12:53:56.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-25T11:29:20.338Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-06df28
