Opportunity for Providers to Support Delivery of Apprenticeships to the Civil Service

This is a Prior Information Notice to alert interested suppliers to an opportunity to deliver Apprenticeship Standards to the UK's Civil Service.

KPMG was awarded a contract (RM3769) by the Cabinet Office in December 2015 which appointed the firm as provider of "Learning and Development" for the "Core Curriculum". As a part of the scope of this role, KPMG is responsible for providing apprenticeships for the Fast Track Apprenticeship Scheme.

We would now like to extend the breadth, capacity and diversity of the supply base by sourcing additional sub-contractors to work with KPMG.

KPMG is seeking registered Apprenticeship provider(s) to supply end-to-end funded Apprenticeships nationally, in line with the ESFA funding requirements and all applicable regulation relating to the delivery of Apprenticeships. Providers are required specifically for the following Standards:

Potential Suppliers are requested to register their interest in receiving the Request for Proposal (RfP) by 12:00pm Friday 28th July via email to the following address: ukfmkpmgcrenq@KPMG.co.uk. Please review the PIN notice document attached to this early engagement notice.

The subject line should be titled: EOI Supply of learning and development services - Post-levy Apprenticeships and the email should detail which apprenticeship standards the potential Supplier is interested in providing. Failure to do this may result in an organisation not receiving the respective documentation.

Please note RfPs will be issued to the email address you provide to express interest. The intention is to issue the RfPs by close of business Monday 31st July.

Please note that the sourcing and selection process is not subject to public procurement rules.
