## Summary

The procurement process titled "Tax Academy End Point Assessor" is being conducted by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) to secure services of an end-point assessment organisation for assessing apprenticeship standards in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The tender was published on 23 December 2019 and had a total contract value of £1,500,000, awarded through an open procedure. The contract period commences on 1 April 2020 and concludes on 31 March 2022, indicating that the procurement has moved into the award stage, with contract documentation published on 7 May 2020.

This opportunity for businesses can facilitate growth particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in assessment services and training sectors, as the contract requires expertise in public sector compliance and accounting frameworks. Businesses with capabilities in delivering end-point assessments or training could find considerable value in this tender, which encompasses two lots, thus allowing for competition among various firms in related fields to contribute effectively to apprenticeship outcomes.

## Notice

The authority is acting on behalf of HMRC's Tax Academy, who as training provider has identified a requirement for the services of an end point assessment organisation (EPAO) who will support them in the assessment of: - the Level 3 public sector compliance investigator/officer apprenticeship standard; and/or - the Level 4 professional accounting/taxation technician apprenticeship. These 2 requirements are divided into 2 separate lots.
