Apprenticeship Levy Match Making Service

Greater Manchester Combined Authority · Contract details notice on Find a Tender

Tender information last checkedLast checked 30 Sept 2026, 08:36.

Opportunity overview

The Greater Manchester Levy Matchmaking Service was launched in August 2018 to provide an online portal that facilitated the transfer of Apprenticeship Levy funds between large levy paying employers and non or smaller levy paying employers who had run out of funding as per national Apprenticeship Funding Rules. This allows unspent apprenticeship levy to stay within the GM Apprenticeship landscape rather than being returned to a central Treasury pot. It comprises an online portal (Home | GM Levy Matchmaking Service (levymatchfinder.co.uk)) and a member of staff that supports and advises employers to help them navigate the system.
