We want to invite you to our Supplier Launch Event on 30 July 2024, to present our procurement plans for new learning and development contracting vehicle(s) to service Central Government organisations and the Wider Public Sector.
The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to invite interested parties to our Supplier Launch Event on 30 July 2024. During this event, we will present a high-level overview of our requirements and our plans for the procurement, details of which are below.
The commercial vehicle(s), known as Learning Frameworks 2.0 , will replace existing learning and development contracts and will deliver blended, and technically innovative, learning solutions for some or all the following (this list is not exhaustive and could be subject to change):
- A core curriculum, defining and providing required skills and knowledge, from foundational to specialist, as defined by the Authority;
- Assurance of the quality and relevance of all products and programmes, as defined and agreed by the Government Campus ;
- Products for management and leadership as defined by the Authority, and assured in relevance by the Leadership College for Government , to build leadership capability across complex systems, and accountable and effective managers;
- Access to specialist training for professions and functions across government and the wider public sector, including access to qualifications;
- Specific emphasis on understanding and using data, science, technology and engineering, and the basics of public administration, and other skills priorities as defined by the government skills strategy.
The solution will provide support infrastructure and services which may include: administration, scheduling, bookings, venues, evaluation managing and monitoring, management information reporting and analysis, sourcing and procurement, supply chain management, invoicing of services and working with Government venues and on-line services.
The solution will also provide access to licences for learning services and qualifications and off-the-shelf training.
The commercial solution(s) will include organisations with the capability to manage large-scale learning delivery, technologies to support end-to-end learning delivery, a supply chain of delivery partners, including the use of small and medium enterprises and educational institutions, and have access to niche, specialist and research-based knowledge and insight.
The contracts will be flexible to be able to respond to changes, such as policy priorities, workforce locations and demographics, how and when people learn, and technology.
The services will need to reflect policies under A Modern Civil Service and the Government People Plan initiatives, be responsive to transformations of the Civil Service across the UK and overseas, and present a UK-wide service in support of the levelling-up agenda. They will support the Government Campus evaluation strategy.
