Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is led by the Crown Commercial Service, focusing on the establishment of a Framework Agreement for the Professional Economist Integrated Degree Apprenticeship programme. This initiative falls under the education and training services industry category, with a contract valued at approximately £10 million. The procurement method utilised is an open procedure, and the contract period commenced on 11 September 2018, extending for two years, with an optional extension of two additional years. The tender has already concluded on 6 August 2018, and the delivery addresses include various locations across the UK and overseas territories.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for training providers and educational institutions experienced in apprenticeships or professional training, particularly in economics. Businesses that specialise in delivering Integrated Degree Apprenticeship training would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the contract will serve an estimated 75 apprentices starting in August 2019 and may grow further in future years. Engaging in this framework allows providers to establish a long-term professional relationship with the Government Economic Service, thereby enhancing their market position in the public sector education landscape.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Professional Economist Integrated Degree Apprenticeship

Notice Description

Crown Commercial Service as the Authority worked with the Government Economic Service (GES) support team in HM Treasury to establish a single supplier Framework Agreement for Professional Economist Integrated Degree Apprenticeships. As the largest employer of economists in England the GES are committed to employing Professional Economist Apprentices. The Professional Economist Apprenticeship entry route is seen as the important new pillar of the GES Recruitment Strategy and will have parity of esteem with the established Fast Track and Main Stream entry routes. The apprenticeship route is considered a vital part of the GES's drive to ensure that the economics profession continues to attract the brightest and the best from all backgrounds. Through this Framework Agreement GES will form an enduring professional relationship with a single training provider to deliver all of the Professional Economist Integrated Degree Apprenticeship Training for GES member organisations. Current indications are that 75 apprentices will be recruited for August 2019 starts and this may grow in subsequent years. The duration of the Framework Agreement is the Initial Framework Period of 2 years. There are also two additional 1 year extension options available in that Framework Agreement. Additional information: The contract value, also provided in Section II.1.7 and 5.2.4 of the Contract Award Notice (attached) is only an estimate. We cannot guarantee to suppliers any business through this Commercial Agreement.
