GMTS Data Analytics Specialism Education Provision
Notice Description
Provision of Data Analytics Specialism Education
Lot Information
Lot 1
The provision of professional education subject matter in respect of this specialism as part of the overall Graduate Management Training Scheme (GMTS) offering. We are suggesting a term of up to 6 cohorts, with cohorts spanning up to 30 months*, commencing in the September of each financial year. The first cohort that this procurement would cover would be that starting September 2024. We hope that by securing a longer term with a new provider will allow the scheme stability in provision of this specialism. This pays into efficiencies around marketing and attraction to this particular specialism of the scheme going forward, and forging lasting relationships with incumbent suppliers to the scheme.
Options: Option to extend for up to 36 months
Procurement Information
Due to an absence of competition for technical reasons. Para 6, Schedule 5 of PA 2023 utilised.<br/><br/>Lead by GenQA, the consortium - consisting of GenQa, the National Physical Laboratory and the UK National External Quality Assurance Service (UKNEQAS) - are verified as the only provider offering the combination of expertise involved and required to deliver this politically sensitive programme. No reasonable alternative or substitute exists. Please see further rationale and evidence within the Direct Award Justification form attached which is attached to the original BC (BC-26791).
