This will include enrolment on standalone modules up until July 2027, with the final enrolment point for the postgraduate certificate/ diploma in March 2027. Designed with the UK Civil Service, the KCL PGL2 is designed for mid-career civil servants, to support their development at level 2 of the policy profession standards. This offer is designed to be flexible and modular. This direct award aims to provide learners continuity of service and provision, ensuring that there is no break in our ability to deliver mid-career accredited learning whilst we undertake a full procurement. If this Direct Award were not to proceed, we would have a gap in learning provision at this level, as KCL are the only supplier available to provide flexible, modular learning explicitly aligned to the policy profession standards. Proceeding via a direct award is the favourable option in comparison to other available contracting vehicles , as it represents a significant saving in comparison to the current per student cost The Direct Award will also allow us to undertake a full procurement exercise for delivery of Accredited Learning from September 2027, allowing us to test the requirements of the policy profession against the wider higher education market ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 80300000 ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (3) - **Award:** Post Graduate Award in Policy Government Policy Fast Stream (pending) - Award id: `1` - Supplier(s): **Kings College London** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-177875` - Value: £731,170 - Date: 17/09/2025 - **Award:** 2 (active) - Supplier(s): **Kings College London** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-177875` - **Award:** 3 (active) - Supplier(s): **Kings College London** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-177875` ## Contracts (2) - **Contract:** 2 (active) - Signed Value: £731,170 - Signed Date: 12/12/2025 - **Contract:** 3 (active) - Signed Value: £2,751,328 - Signed Date: 04/12/2025 ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F000407-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-01-05T15:39:51.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-17T07:21:27.949Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-059e77
