## Summary

The MINISTRY OF DEFENCE is currently conducting a tender for the "Development & Implementation of L4UCT", which focuses on delivering training services related to the Level 4 Unified Communications Troubleshooter Apprenticeship Standard. This open procurement method, classified under the education and training services category (CPV code: 80000000), has a tender period set to conclude on 16th February 2021. The estimated value of the contract is £98,000, with the contract period expected to last from 28th February 2021 to 28th February 2025. Interested parties should note that the procurement initiative is taking place primarily in Portsmouth, England.

This opportunity presents a significant avenue for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in education and training services. The requirement includes both traditional training delivery and the provision of an optional on-line solution for vendor/professional qualifications, making this tender suitable for businesses with experience in both classroom-based and digital training methodologies. Companies that can offer innovative training solutions, especially in the communications information systems sector, will find this contract especially appealing.

## Notice

The new Leading Engineering Technician (Weapons Engineer) (Communications Information Systems) Specialist (LET(WE)(CIS) Spec) career course has been mapped to the Level 4 Unified Communications Troubleshooter (L4 UCTS) Apprenticeship Standard. This standard requires a professional qualification to be undertaken. Only part of the vendor/professional qualification syllabus is delivered during the course pipeline training and there is a requirement for an external training provider to map and deliver the remaining elements of the qualification to aid certification to all RN personnel for a period of 4 years from start of delivery. In order to not disadvantage legacy ratings, there is also a requirement to provide an optional on-line solution to deliver the vendor/professional qualification training and certification for a period of 12 months, from start of delivery.
