## Summary

The procurement process involves the Crown Commercial Service, which has announced a tender titled "Provision of Consultancy for External Competency Assessments". This contract falls within the business and management consultancy services category and is located in the South East of the United Kingdom.

The contract period runs from 12th December 2016 to 30th April 2017, following the conclusion of the tender period on 23rd November 2016.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those focused on competency assessments and skills analysis. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find themselves well-positioned to compete, given the buyer's openness to engaging smaller suppliers.

Businesses with relevant experience in project management and personnel assessment should consider exploring this contract and similar future opportunities to grow their operations.

## Notice

As part of Functional Resource Management (FRM) the Portfolio, Programme and Project Management (PPM) function needs to evaluate and baseline the skills, experience and knowledge of its personnel. This is essential to ensure that an appropriate level of Suitably Qualified Experienced Personnel (SQEP) are available in order to support the business, provide a skills gap analysis and underpin the restructuring and resizing requirements. To provide this data, a whole function competency assessment exercise is required.
