## Summary

The National Audit Office is seeking suppliers for a tender titled "Professional Accountancy Training", which falls within the specialist training services category. This procurement process is at the tender stage, with submissions required by 20 December 2016. The training will primarily be delivered in London, UK, and is intended for graduate and school leaver training schemes leading to the ICAEW qualification. The contract period is set to commence on 1 September 2017 and run until 31 August 2022.

This opportunity presents significant potential for growth for businesses in the training sector, particularly those specialising in professional accountancy education and apprenticeship programmes. Organisations that can offer flexible training delivery methods, including both in-person and online options, will be especially well-suited to compete in this tender. Additional capabilities to provide Level 4 and potential Level 7 apprenticeship programmes further enhance the attractiveness for interested bidders.

## Notice

The NAO requires a training provider to deliver bespoke training for the ICAEW qualification (the ACA exams) for its graduate and school leaver training schemes. It is expected that the majority of training will be delivered as classroom based tuition, although with the option for online delivery where required. Trainees will also require the option to attend alternative courses if they need to defer or resit exams. The NAO also requires an Apprenticeships programme at Level 4 with the option to develop a Level 7 programme once national standards are agreed.
