UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

JNCC Support Co is procuring specialist human resources management consultancy services for a Skills Gap Analysis exercise. The supplier will design and deliver an organisation-wide assessment tailored to JNCC’s structure, job families and the Civil Service competency framework. The work must assess skills at individual, team and organisational levels, identify capability gaps across directorates, and produce evidence to support strategic workforce planning and a three-year Learning and Development Plan. The requirement is for services delivered across the United Kingdom. It is intended to establish a consistent approach to understanding current workforce skills and future capability needs, supporting decisions about people, roles, resources and learning investment.

The process has reached tender: JNCC Support Co invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bidders could submit enquiries until 21 August 2026 at 14:00, and bids must be emailed by 10 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract is planned to run from 28 September 2026 to 15 January 2027, with a possible extension of the period to 15 January 2028. The estimated value is £34,000 excluding VAT and £40,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Evaluation criteria are set out in the Statement of Requirements. Potential follow-on work may include a skills analysis tool or database, manager guidance, and handover documentation, subject to need, funding and performance.

This opportunity suits a specialist workforce, organisational development or human resources consultancy with experience of designing and delivering skills gap or capability assessments. Suppliers should be able to analyse skills consistently at individual, team and organisation-wide levels, work across different job families and apply the Civil Service competency framework. Strong evidence-gathering, analytical and reporting capability will be important, as the findings must identify common gaps across directorates and inform workforce planning and learning investment. The work also favours providers able to translate analysis into practical recommendations for a multi-year Learning and Development Plan. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to focused specialist consultancies as well as larger firms.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Skills and Capability Analysis

Notice Description

To support strategic workforce planning (effectively managing the workforce, focusing on having the right people, with the right skills, in the right roles, at the right time, and at the right cost) and to inform the development of a three year Learning and Development Plan (2026-2029), we need robust, organisation wide insight into current workforce skills and future capability needs. At present, we do not have a unified approach for assessing skills, which limits our ability to identify common themes or prioritise investment effectively. We are looking to procure a specialist supplier to design and deliver a Skills Gap Analysis exercise tailored to our organisational structure, job families (a group of roles that involve similar types of work, require similar skills, or follow a similar career path) and the currently used Civil Service competency framework. The exercise will: *Provide a consistent assessment of skills at individual, team and organisational levels. *Identify common capability gaps across directorates, enabling targeted planning and resource allocation. *Generate high quality evidence to shape the 2026-2029 L&D plan.

Renewal: Bidders should be aware that there is the potential for the successful bidder to be requested by JNCC to undertake additional work on this contract into the financial year 2026/27 or 2027/2028 as follows: *Possible design of skills gap analysis tool or database (fully editable and sustainable) and Manager guidance pack, including step-by-step instructions and FAQs. *Full documentation and handover package to enable internal maintenance. Please note however that the potential for additional work to be undertaken is subject to a continuing need, availability of funds and satisfactory contractor performance. For the avoidance of doubt, no guarantee can be given that you will be asked to undertake the potential additional work outlined within this Annex A document. Bidders are not asked to provide detailed project plans for these follow-on aspects at this stage.
