What is being bought
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). The Authority will be holding a Tenderers Conference at 10:00 hrs on on 10th of September 2026 at Tidworth Garrison Theater, 18 St Andrews Rd, Tidworth, SP9 7EP. Parties wishing to attend the Tenderers Conference should email ArmyComrcl-Procure-AAP-Mailbox@mod.gov.uk by Friday 21st August 2026, stating who will be attending. Please note the number of attendees per party is capped at three individuals. 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. For the avoidance of any doubt this notice supercedes all notices published under 'Delivery of Apprenticeships to the Intelligence Corps- 715811476'
