This notice is not an official launch of our procurement(s), it is to alert the market to future opportunities and allow us to begin conversations that will shape plans for multiple future requirements. The Cabinet Office (Government Skills Group) is transforming the way learning and development (L&D) is designed, procured, and delivered across the Civil Service. Following the announcement by the Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister, the government is establishing the new National School of Government and Public Services (hereon The National School). The National School is tasked with delivering high-quality, targeted training to approximately 558,000 civil servants, developing executive leadership in the wider public sector, and to partner with public sector training bodies. The strategic goal of the National School is to shift away from the historically outsourced prime-supplier managed-service model. In its place, the Cabinet Office is building an insourced, hybrid capability. Under this new Future Operating Model (FOM), the Cabinet Office will directly manage core operations, standard curricula, and stakeholder engagement. However, expert external provision will remain a critical element of the programme. The National School transformation programme relies on three core, interdependent pillars to transition Civil Service training away from fully outsourced prime-supplier models toward an in-house, hybrid operating model by April 2028. Together, these pillars work to build direct relationships with suppliers, provide a modern digital learning infrastructure, and establish robust in-house operational workflows. Pillar 1: Future Supplier Partnerships (FSP) The FSP project serves as the commercial enabler of the new operating model, building the in-house capability required to buy learning services and manage supply chains directly. We aim to establish direct, value-driven contractual relationships with UK-based SMEs, universities, business schools, and niche providers. The project team have identified an indicative Three-Stage Roadmap to enable this delivery: Stage 1 (Immediate - April 2027): Procuring urgent digital and specialist training needs that cannot be fulfilled through existing frameworks. Stage 2 (April 2027-March 2028): Phased procurement for core, National School-sponsored curriculum, coaching, and talent programmes. Stage 3 (March 2028 onwards): On-going phased procurements falling out of Stages 1 and 2, depending on the length of contracts identified. The scope of the requirements will cover several key procurement categories, including, but not limited to, specialised coaching pools (including for neuro-diverse leaders), blended training delivery, learning design (retaining Crown Intellectual Property), access to subject matter experts including within academia, independent research and evaluation, helpdesk/admin surge, and off-the-shelf qualifications. Pillar 2: Future Technologies (FT) The Future Technologies project focuses on designing and implementing the digital architecture required to run a personalised training operation for approximately 558,000 civil servants. The core objective here is the setting up and integration of platforms to manage the access, booking, payments, and evaluation of learning materials. This involves transitioning away from heavy manual processes to maximise technological efficiencies. At this stage the project team has identified the central deliverable as a unified online portal allowing learners to access the full National School offering. Key technologies in scope for procurement include, but are not limited to, a new Learning Management System (LMS)/ Learning Experience Platform (LXP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems to centralise stakeholder engagement, and design/delivery tools. Pillar 3: Future Learning Operations (FLO) The Learning Operations project is responsible for building the actual systems, processes, and internal capabilities required to run the day-to-day training operations in-house. Their core objective is establishing an integrated operational function by April 2028 that supports over 558,000 civil servants in completing their learning journeys. It is highly dependent on the digital and commercial pillars to develop the underlying platforms that support operations. Market Involvement As part of the initial phases of the programme, the project teams are keen to connect with the market and gain insight into current trends, operations and barriers. With this in mind, Cabinet Office and the project team have planned the following Sector Connector events.

The Authority is seeking to engage with the market regarding the upcoming procurement of a national Conversion Practices Victim Support Service. This service provides critical remote support to individuals who have gone through, are going through, or are at risk of conversion practices. The requirement comprises two primary components: Helpline Service: The operation of a bespoke helpline, or integration of comprehensive support into an existing vulnerable-person helpline. Service must operate a minimum of Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, via telephone & live web-chat/email. Website Management: Transfer, maintenance & expansion of existing information website, which serves as a public repository for legal protections, resources & signposting. A draft copy of the requirements are attached to this notice. Additional information: 3. Key Procurement Parameters & Constraints Contract Duration: 24 Months (with a formal performance review at the 12-month mark). Estimated Financial Value: Strict maximum budget of £80,000 per annum (Inclusive of VAT), totaling £160,000 over the 24-month term. Bids exceeding £80,000 in either year will not be considered. Anticipated Call Volumes: 300 to 2,000 calls per year (call rates are expected to vary and will likely spike at times when conversion practices are receiving media attention). 4. The Transition & Timeline Scenario The Authority is operating under strict budgetary constraints & has no budget available for dual-running contract costs. Contract start date is currently 1 October 2026 (but may be subject to shifting timelines). Regardless of the exact calendar date the transition will be structured as follows: The Final 4-6 Weeks of the Current Contract: The outgoing supplier will utilise this time to execute their exit plan, compiling all necessary data, scripts, website hosting configurations & asset packages. Contract Day 1 (New Contract Start Date): Compiled handover package will be passed to winning bidder on this day. Day 1 Go-Live: Incoming supplier is expected to be fully operational, answering live helpline calls & managing the website immediately from Contract Day 1. 5. Market Engagement & Expression of Interest (EoI) Questions Authority invites interested suppliers to review this information & submit responses to the following questions: Question 1: Primary Requirements Please confirm you are able to fulfil our two primary requirements; Helpline Service & Website Management? (Yes/No) Question 2: Expression of Interest Are you interested in bidding for this requirement when formal contract notice is published? (Yes/No) Question 2: Onboarding Feasibility The outgoing supplier will spend the last 4 weeks of their contract completing their exit plan to hand over to the new supplier on Contract Day 1. We want to know if this is feasible for your organisation. Given you will receive handover documentation & asset package on Contract Day 1, is it operationally feasible for your contact centre to handle live helpline calls and manage the website immediately without a mobilisation period? If not, what specific risks does this present to your organisation, and what alternative solutions within the strict £80,000 p.a. budget framework would you propose? How long would you need to become fully operational? 6. How to Respond Interested suppliers should submit their Expression of Interest and responses to the questions above by July 24th 2026 at 17:00 BST. Please find link to the Contracts Finder Notice which contains a link to the draft statement of requirements as an attachment.

The Cabinet Office and No10 Delivery Unit are exploring how government can support the exchange of learning and the successful adoption of smart practice across the UK's public services. The requirement is still being developed, and this preliminary market engagement will be used to understand market interest and capacity to deliver a 6-month research project in late 2026/early 2026 and to help refine the final requirement. A potential requirement may involve conducting an evidence review of approaches to knowledge exchange in complex systems, with a focus on knowledge which supports the practical process of adoption; and producing recommendations for government to accelerate adoption (e.g. through the use of targeted incentives, capability-building and accountability frameworks) across the public sector, drawing from international examples as well as evidence from the private sector. This research will support the government's Test, Learn and Grow programme - which looks to design, test and scale innovative solutions to complex challenges, with a focus on continuous learning and improvement - and No10 Delivery Unit, which aims to turn policy into real-world impact that is felt by the public whilst supporting the adoption of delivery best practice across government. This notice is not a call for competition, does not formally commence a procurement process, and is issued solely for the purpose of gathering information and insight from the market. It is likely that the existing Crown Commercial Services Research and Insights DPS (RM6126) will be used for any future procurement. If you would like to attend a Market Engagement Event please advise by email by Monday 6 July.
