What is being bought

Published requirement description

Principal Analysis services to support the ongoing development and live operation of GDS-compliant digital services. The primary focus is to assist The Digital Apprenticeship Service to enable hundreds of thousands of employers and ½ million apprentices to raise skills levels, and to leverage our digital services to enable the new Growth and Skills Offer which will include a wider range of training. As the service is already live, a structured handover from incumbent suppliers will be required. Additionally, continuous knowledge transfer to permanent staff within the Department for Education (DfE) will be essential to ensure long-term sustainability and capability building.
