| Procurement Method: | Direct award |
| Method Rationale: | King’s College London is the only provider able to deliver the PGA cohort starting enrolment in October and delivery in March 2026. Onboarding a new supplier in time is not feasible due to development and approval timelines. Their estimated savings are £140,000 based on current learner numbers. The existing framework is expiring, and the replacement is not yet ready, with no confirmed supplier. A direct award ensures continuity, allows time to test future requirements, and includes an optional extension to safeguard delivery of two cohorts if the new framework proves unsuitable. |

This Direct Award is to King's College London for the delivery of the King's College London Post Graduate Award for the 2025 Government Policy Fast Stream cohort with teaching of the first module beginning in March. Designed with the UK Civil Service the KCL Post Graduate Award is designed for Government Policy Fast Streamers to support their development across the policy profession standards. This offer has been designed to complement the fast stream programme. This direct award aims to provide learners continuity of service and provision, ensuring that there is no break in our ability to deliver accredited learning to fast streamers whilst we identify a longer-term procurement strategy and the Learning Framework 2.0 is established. If this Direct Award were not to proceed, we would have a gap in learning provision for this cohort, as KCL are the only supplier available to provide this programme in this timeframe.
