The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the engagement end date set for 23rd February 2018. Interested parties must express their interest in the project by 5pm on 27th July 2017, using the ONS e-tendering portal. The qualifications aim to enhance the skills of statistical staff across government and is intended to be delivered by ONS staff over a two-year period, covering various topics related to official statistics and analysis techniques. This tender presents a significant opportunity for educational institutions, training providers, and organisations specialising in statistical education and analytics. Businesses that offer adult and higher education services, particularly those experienced in delivering professional qualifications or training modules, would be well-suited to compete. Given the increasing importance of data analytics in government, this is an advantageous opportunity for businesses to contribute to the professional development of governmental statistical staff, thereby building their reputation and fostering growth in the public sector education market. ## Notice The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is seeking to accredit an existing learning pathway for what was formerly the RSS Higher, level 5 qualification in statistics and analysis. The Analytical Branch of the Learning Academy, within the Learning and Development Division within ONS, is intending to deliver a further single cohort of the level 5 qualification using its own staff to deliver the modules. This is normally offered as a two year programme. The level 5 qualification brings together modules on a range of topics covering official statistics, the statistical cycle and analysis techniques. It is aimed at providing statistical staff with the opportunity to gain a professionally recognised qualification that is both applied and provides an entry point to the Statistical Profession across Government.
