## Summary

The HM Revenue & Customs has awarded a contract for the provision of Finance apprenticeship CIPFA services. The procurement stage was selective, utilizing a framework agreement, with a tender period ending on 5th June 2024 and a contract period from 10th June 2024 to 9th June 2030. The contract value is GBP 315,000, with the main procurement category being services. The location for delivery is in the United Kingdom and the industry categories are financial management consultancy services and specialist training services.

This tender offers an opportunity for businesses looking to provide finance apprenticeship services to government departments. Businesses expert in financial management consultancy or specialist training services tailored to the public sector would be well-suited to compete. The contract period of 6 years provides a stable revenue stream. The procurement method, selective call-off from a framework agreement, indicates a focus on quality and expertise in the service delivery. The qualification of CIPFA brings unique learning material specific to the public sector, enhancing the professional development opportunities available to finance apprentices.

## Notice

The Finance Community & Professions Team (FCPT) are looking to procure CIPFA as an alternative qualification for our finance apprentices. Currently, finance apprentices can only undertake AAT and CIMA qualifications. (with ACCA and ACA only on an exceptional basis). Having the CIPFA qualification will broaden out the range of qualifications that our finance apprentices can choose from. Another business driver is that CIPFA is the only finance qualification that is focused on the public sector and so the qualification brings with it learning material that is not contained in the other qualifications. In having a greater product offering for individuals to choose from will help HMRC remain competitive in attracting and maintaining the best finance talent across government and beyond. This aligns with the People theme in HMRC's strategy. The cost of acquiring CIPFA will be borne from the Apprenticeship Levy, so HMRC will not incur any costs as such. If this requirement is not approved, then finance apprentices will have less choice in the finance qualifications that they can take, and HMRC will have a less competitive range of qualifications to offer than some of the OGDs.
