## Summary

The procurement process, conducted by the Department for Transport (DfTc), involves a tender titled "Building Technical Capabilities," aimed at enhancing the technical skills of entry-level resources such as software developers, Dev-Ops, and testers in London, United Kingdom. The procurement falls within the IT services industry, classified under CPV code 72000000. The tender process was completed on 31 March 2021, with a contract value of £1,000,000, following a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period is set from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2023.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand within the IT services sector, particularly those that specialise in training and developing technical personnel. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the DfTc is focused on creating a diverse talent pipeline and supporting individuals to become proficient civil servants. Businesses with expertise in providing ongoing training and support in digital services can benefit from this procurement, as they align closely with the objectives set out by the buying organisation.

## Notice

Deliver a diverse range of entry level technical resources (Software developers, Dev-Ops and Testers) to support the creation of a talent pipeline into Digital Services (DS). These resources will be selected by DS and will work on live projects for the department. They will receive ongoing training and support from Future Proof throughout their 2 year placement, to ensure that they have the technical skills and competencies to be able to deliver value throughout their placement. This training will be aligned to the GDS skills for the roles and grades and agreed with the Development Manager. DS will support the individuals to become good Civil Servants, with support in how to make good applications and pass interviews. At the end of their placement, it is expected that the resources will be in a position to apply for a technical SEO vacancy, thus increasing the talent pipeline and diversity of resources in DS
