Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Civil Service Learning, focuses on the delivery of apprenticeships to the UK's Civil Service, specifically addressing the opportunity for providers to support the Fast Track Apprenticeship Scheme. This planning stage includes an engagement end date set for 23rd February 2018, with the intention to issue Requests for Proposals (RfPs) by close of business on 31st July. The relevant industry category is primarily within IT services and training, with potential delivery locations encompassing the United Kingdom and various overseas territories.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in apprenticeship delivery, including training institutions and educational service providers, to expand their reach within the public sector. Companies that are registered apprenticeship providers and have the capacity to deliver specified apprenticeship standards, such as Commercial Procurement and Supply, Associate Project Manager, and Software Tester at Level 4, will be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging as a sub-contractor alongside KPMG allows these businesses to enhance their service offerings and gain access to new markets within the Civil Service.

Notice Description

This is a Prior Information Notice to alert interested suppliers to an opportunity to deliver Apprenticeship Standards to the UK's Civil Service.

As a part of the scope of this role, KPMG is responsible for providing apprenticeships for the Fast Track Apprenticeship Scheme. We would now like to extend the breadth, capacity and diversity of the supply base by sourcing additional sub-contractors to work with KPMG.

Providers are required specifically for the following Standards: 1. Commercial Procurement and Supply Level 4 2. Associate Project Manager Level 4 3. Software Tester Level 4 Potential Suppliers are requested to register their interest in receiving the Request for Proposal (RfP) by 12:00pm Friday 28th July via email to the following address: ukfmkpmgcrenq@KPMG.co.uk. Please review the PIN notice document attached to this early engagement notice. The subject line should be titled: EOI Supply of learning and development services - Post-levy Apprenticeships and the email should detail which apprenticeship standards the potential Supplier is interested in providing. Failure to do this may result in an organisation not receiving the respective documentation. Please note RfPs will be issued to the email address you provide to express interest. The intention is to issue the RfPs by close of business Monday 31st July. Please note that the sourcing and selection process is not subject to public procurement rules.
