Summary of the contracting process

Financial Services Compensation Scheme Limited procured managed learning and development services to work with its People Team and in-house HR professionals. The service supports career pathways across all departments and organisational levels, using a managed learning or master/neutral vendor model. It provides flexible access to multiple internal and external learning suppliers, external partners, custom content, learning technology, online courses, classroom training, accredited courses and professional qualifications. The provider is expected to create adaptable learning programmes based on user patterns, align skills and capability development with FSCS business objectives, and embed a strong delivery and capability culture. This is an education and training services requirement, delivered across the United Kingdom.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under a competitive framework call-off using a selective procedure. It had one lot. The contract was awarded to Premier People Solutions Ltd, also trading as Premier Partnership, on 14 May 2026. The awarded value is £350,000 gross including VAT. The award period runs from 6 July 2026 to 5 July 2028, with two possible extensions of up to 12 months each, allowing a maximum award period to 5 July 2030. The signed contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028, with extensions available to 31 July 2030. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026. The requirement was above the relevant threshold and evaluated through a competitive framework process.

This opportunity indicates demand from FSCS for an integrated learning and development partner able to manage a broad supplier network rather than deliver only one training product. A credible future competitor would need experience supporting organisational career pathways, working alongside an internal HR or People function, and coordinating varied learning interventions. Relevant capability includes sourcing and managing external providers, neutral vendor or managed learning delivery, custom programme design, online and classroom learning, accredited training and professional qualifications. Suppliers should be able to use learning technology and user data to tailor pathways, while maintaining accessibility, flexibility, cost control and service quality. The successful supplier was a large organisation at award stage, while its trading entity was recorded as an SME, suggesting the requirement can involve both substantial delivery capacity and a focused specialist operating model.
