Buyer: Ministry of Defence →
The Ministry of Defence / British Army announce an upcoming contracting opportunity, for a five-year contract commencing 1st Aug 27, to support and supplement the delivery of the Intelligence Corps Apprenticeship Programme. Most of the apprenticeship training is delivered by the British Army at the Defence Intelligence Academy (DIA), Chicksands, Bedfordshire, with it acting as an Apprenticeship Employer-Provider, with the apprenticeships being completed at Army units UK wide. Apprenticeships include Level 4 Intelligence Analyst (ST0516) and Level 4 Data Analyst (ST0118). There is a requirement for an APAR registered Provider to supplement the military training delivery of the apprenticeship, by supporting Apprentices (for example by conducting coaching, progress reviews, and EPA preparation), creating and managing DfE / DWP compliant learner records, and if required providing Functional Skills training. Full definition of the requirement will be detailed within the Invitation to Tender and UK4 Tender notice scheduled to be published in August 2026.

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Education and training services (80000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 80 | 6,656 | 2 median · 47.9 average (3,113 of 6,656 with a bid count) | 3.2 average (3,415 of 6,656 with named award suppliers) | 1 comparable price pairs |
| Same buyer | 34 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 362 | 11.5 median · 12 average (4 of 362 with a bid count) | 9.5 average (4 of 362 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
