This planning stage includes an engagement end date set for 23rd February 2018, with the intention to issue Requests for Proposals (RfPs) by close of business on 31st July. The relevant industry category is primarily within IT services and training, with potential delivery locations encompassing the United Kingdom and various overseas territories. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in apprenticeship delivery, including training institutions and educational service providers, to expand their reach within the public sector. Companies that are registered apprenticeship providers and have the capacity to deliver specified apprenticeship standards, such as Commercial Procurement and Supply, Associate Project Manager, and Software Tester at Level 4, will be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging as a sub-contractor alongside KPMG allows these businesses to enhance their service offerings and gain access to new markets within the Civil Service. ## Notice This is a Prior Information Notice to alert interested suppliers to an opportunity to deliver Apprenticeship Standards to the UK's Civil Service. KPMG was awarded a contract (RM3769) by the Cabinet Office in December 2015 which appointed the firm as provider of "Learning and Development" for the "Core Curriculum". As a part of the scope of this role, KPMG is responsible for providing apprenticeships for the Fast Track Apprenticeship Scheme. We would now like to extend the breadth, capacity and diversity of the supply base by sourcing additional sub-contractors to work with KPMG. KPMG is seeking registered Apprenticeship provider(s) to supply end-to-end funded Apprenticeships nationally, in line with the ESFA funding requirements and all applicable regulation relating to the delivery of Apprenticeships. Providers are required specifically for the following Standards: 1. Commercial Procurement and Supply Level 4 2. Associate Project Manager Level 4 3. Software Tester Level 4 Potential Suppliers are requested to register their interest in receiving the Request for Proposal (RfP) by 12:00pm Friday 28th July via email to the following address: ukfmkpmgcrenq@KPMG.co.uk. Please review the PIN notice document attached to this early engagement notice. The subject line should be titled: EOI Supply of learning and development services - Post-levy Apprenticeships and the email should detail which apprenticeship standards the potential Supplier is interested in providing. Failure to do this may result in an organisation not receiving the respective documentation. Please note RfPs will be issued to the email address you provide to express interest. The intention is to issue the RfPs by close of business Monday 31st July. Please note that the sourcing and selection process is not subject to public procurement rules. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/427c3389-1383-4e79-a5e9-5456da014293 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Jul 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CIVIL SERVICE LEARNING | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 80 - Education and training services - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 75121000 - Administrative educational services - 80300000 - Higher education services - 80400000 - Adult and other education services - 80500000 - Training services - 92312212 - Services related to the preparation of training manuals ## Release History - 21 Jul 2017 at 15:59 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/427c3389-1383-4e79-a5e9-5456da014293 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/427c3389-1383-4e79-a5e9-5456da014293 21st July 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9cc2e676-6e61-447c-bfa0-128275a90a51 Opportunity for Providers to Support Delivery of Fast Track Apprenticeships to the Civil Service Prior Information Notice ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
