Why no open competition
The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Published justification

The Secretary of State for Defence intends to enter into a supply contract with for project delivery function apprenticeships for use in MOD Head Office in London. In accordance with the provisions of The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 SI No. 2020/1319, this

procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as

amended (in particular by SI 2020/1319). Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal

of the European Union is no longer appropriate. It is considered that the award of the contract without

prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (as required by the relevant

legislation) is lawful in accordance with regulation 32(b)(ii) of the PCR 2015 because competition is

absent for technical reasons.

Projecting Success is the only supplier capable of delivering the requirement as it the only provider

whose course is regulated by Ofsted and is approved by ESFA to provide L4 apprenticeships to already

qualified project managers. The course is a unique one as it is shaped to the job roles in the Infrastructure

Project Authorities project delivery capability framework.

Projecting Success is the only provider which offers both the technical knowledge and capability to

deliver the bespoke training required to upskill MOD Project Delivery Professionals. Further, there is an

urgency to develop our project delivery professional’s capability in this area and so it wouldn’t be feasible

to delay procuring this service.
