What is being bought

The purpose of this note is to alert potential suppliers of a possible opportunity that may be of interest. The contract value is anticipated to be circa £38 million with a potential contract duration of 36 months (3 years) and is subject to change.

Should the procurement go ahead, the potential route to market may be via the RM6102 (Apprenticeship Training) which is a Dynamic Purchasing System framework. Tech Track is a new, cross-government, at-scale upskilling initiative that will convert 1,800 non-technical civil servants into Digital, Data and Technology professionals via apprenticeships over three years. There will be four apprenticeship standards offered, all at level 4: Software Developer DevOps Engineer Business Analyst Cyber Security Technician The target cohort size for the first year of the programme is 500 across all four standards.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Education and training services (80000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
