"description": "The Better Business Cases programme aims to significantly increase the capacity of the UK public sector to create and plan optimum value proposals for investment, spending and use of public resources through the use of HM Treasury’s Business Case guidance on applying the ‘Five Case Model’.\nThe requirement of this contract is for a supplier to accredit and approve training organisations and individual trainers including administering an examination and accreditation scheme for individual candidates. The supplier will also provide facilitation services for the promotion and support of a market for Better Business Cases training.\nThe programme’s core focus has previously been on the UK and New Zealand with support provided for demand led training around the world. A large majority of exams are taken within the UK. HM Treasury wishes to maintain this focus, while developing the emerging international training market. There is considerable international potential for growth in the provision of accreditation and training and there are already organisations advocating its use abroad.\nHM Treasury is looking for a supplier to provide a scheme that will improve upon the functions of the existing scheme. Requirements include providing a model for presenting accredited training providers, examination questions and syllabuses based on HMT Business Case guidance, proactively quality controlling examination administration and invigilation, and providing HMT with regular reporting and monitoring data (further details to be found in the Statements of Requirements). In addition, we would like on-going surveys of people undertaking Better Business Cases training to support on-going development and feedback.\nThe proposed contract will likely be for a period of 3 years with the option to extend the contract for up to 2 years, plus an extra 2 contingency years if necessary.\nThe authority intends to put in place a handover period between any new supplier and existing supplier during approximately October – March 2023. During this time, the new supplier would be required to put in place the appropriate processes and systems for the delivery of this service and receive key documents they will need to do so (e.g. banks of examination questions), whilst the current supplier will continue to deliver the accreditation and training services during the handover period. After the handover period, the appointed supplier under this procurement would then be the sole organisation delivering this requirement during the contract period.\nThis is a concession contract where the current supplier charges a fee to users undertaking examinations (either to become accredited in HMT Business Case Guidance or to become accredited to deliver training in HMT Business Case Guidance). A royalty from this exam fee is provided to the Authority. Concession contract. Examination fees vary by region – see procurement documentation for further details.",

To participate in this procurement, bidders must be able to demonstrate they comply with the technical requirements prescribed by Cyber Essentials, for services under and in connection with this procurement.\nSome purchases under this framework Agreement may have requirements that can be met under this Framework Agreement but the purchase of which may be exempt from the Procurement Regulations (as defined in Attachment 1 – About the framework within the invitation to tender documentation).

"description": "The Better Business Cases programme aims to significantly increase the capacity of the UK public sector to create and plan optimum value proposals for investment, spending and use of public resources through the use of HM Treasury’s Business Case\nguidance on applying the ‘Five Case Model’.\nThe requirement of this contract is for a supplier to accredit and approve training organisations and individual trainers including administering an examination and accreditation scheme for individual candidates. The supplier will also provide facilitation services for the promotion and support of a market for Better Business Cases training.\nThe programme’s core focus has previously been on the UK and New Zealand with support provided for demand led training around the world. A large majority of exams\nare taken within the UK. HM Treasury wishes to maintain this focus, while developing the emerging international training market. There is considerable international potential\nfor growth in the provision of accreditation and training and there are already organisations advocating its use abroad.\nHM Treasury is looking for a supplier to provide a scheme that will improve upon the functions of the existing scheme. Requirements include providing a model for presenting accredited training providers, examination questions and syllabuses based on HMT Business Case guidance, proactively quality controlling examination administration and invigilation, and providing HMT with regular reporting and monitoring data (further details to be found in the Statements of Requirements). In addition, we would like on-going surveys of people undertaking Better Business Cases training to support on-going development and feedback.\nThe proposed contract will likely be for a period of 3 years with the option to extend the contract for up to 2 years, plus an extra 2 contingency years if necessary.\nThe authority intends to put in place a handover period between any new supplier and existing supplier during approximately October – March 2023. During this time, the new\nsupplier would be required to put in place the appropriate processes and systems for the delivery of this service and receive key documents they will need to do so (e.g. banks of examination questions), whilst the current supplier will continue to deliver the accreditation and training services during the handover period. After the handover period, the appointed supplier under this procurement would then be the sole organisation delivering this requirement during the contract period.\nThe values in II:1.5 are indicative. This is a concession contract where the current supplier charges a fee to users undertaking examinations (either to become accredited in HMT Business Case Guidance or to become accredited to deliver training in HMT Business Case Guidance). A royalty from this exam fee is provided to the Authority. Concession contract. Examination fees vary by region - UK examinations are currently charged a fee in the region of £140 and the Authority intends to take a royalty in the region of 25% of all examination fees"
