What is Learning 2020? To determine future common learning requirements in line with the learning strategy across departments and professions to ensure that we can commission a central enabling provision that supports the 70:20:10 model, the CS learning design principles, and that supports common formal learning needs across professions and departments in a cost effective and efficient way. Learning 2020 will: Secure a cost effective and compliant route to market establishing a clear commercial strategy for any future cross Civil Service learning provision from 2020 and beyond; Deliver access to strong support infrastructure for booking, inclusive of a service centre for bookings, key MI data, helpdesks, account management and payment mechanisms; Produce a delivery model that meets the needs of Civil Servants working across the UK in both Central and Devolved Administrations and those who are based in international locations, and which takes into account the Civil Service’s future direction and current context (e.g. Places for Growth, Leaving the EU, Workforce Projections); Make sure that all learning will meet accessibility standards; Implement a flexible model where we can create common learning with external partners, buy off-the-shelf, or ask for provider to deliver Crown IP; Increase ability to adapt learning to the rapidly changing environment, enable departments and professions to contextualise; and Improve evidence of learning impact.
What did we learn from market engagement ? Model is commercially viable and has the potential to engage small to medium sized enterprises. The Civil Service must be involved in the governance of the learning to help transparency. Supply chain management is complex and “exclusivity rights” will not meet the Civil Service’s requirements. Suppliers would welcome the chance to network. Suppliers would welcome early notification of the commercial model and timeframes.

Requirement for partners/providers Ability to meet all Critical Success Factors in the business case from day 1, guaranteeing continuity of service; Demonstrable and validatable expertise in provision of the underlying service; Ability to take on full commercial risk transfer for service provision, including complaints; management, warranties and indemnities for performance; Demonstrate how they are bringing cutting edge technology, innovation and approaches to the needs set out; and Ability to work with parts of the Civil Service and other service providers to deliver a seamless service from the learners’ perspective.
Exclusivity We are looking for a flexible and diverse range of provision to meet the changing requirements of the Civil Service. As such, exclusivity deals, especially ones that could be seen particularly to the detriment of SMEs who are a very important part of our delivery model, will not deliver the requirements of the Civil Service.

Lotting bidding rules Bidding Approach To maximise competition and opportunity for SMEs, bidders will be invited to bid for 1 or more or all lots, there will be no restrictions. They can submit a bid as a single legal entity for all or any of the lots. Alternatively, they can participate in the submission of multi-lot bids through taking one or both of the following options: Work with other legal entities to form a consortium. Bid with named Key Subcontractors to deliver parts of the requirements. This applies whether they are bidding as a single legal entity or as a consortium. Bidding Rules To establish the lowest overall cost to provide the deliverables for Her Majesty’s Government, we will determine the winning bidder to be awarded a contract for Lot 1 or Lot 3 in the first instance. If the winning bidder has submitted bids for the other lots then these will be removed from the competition with the exception of the winning Lot 1 bidder submission for Lot 5, which will be evaluated. After recognising the above and in the event bidders submit more than 2 winning bids then they will be requested to state their order of preference for award as part of the bidding process. A quality score threshold will be set and bidders that do not meet this will be removed from the competition. If two or more bidders have the same final scores (quality + price) the bidder with the highest quality score will be ranked 1st.
