Thank you for your request

As ONS used the rapid award option on the DPS, a shortlisting exercise was completed on the system. Filters were selected from apprentice cohort mix, minimum number of apprentices to deliver the programme, training availability, training delivery mode, training timetable and personally identifiable information stored/processed. ONS then used the shortlisted supplier's prospectus and pricing information to make a rapid award to the supplier that met our requirements.
The contract has an extension option available for 12 months.
This contract has only just been awarded.
