    Brief

    Skills England is seeking a supplier to conduct an exploratory study examining private sector training delivery across England. The study will: (1) provide an overview of the total training market and assess the role private providers play within it; (2) identify and evaluate data gaps related to private training provision; and (3) determine the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of collecting data to address identified gaps. This research will inform Skills England's understanding of the private training landscape and support evidence-based policy development. Suppliers should have expertise in market research, data analysis, and training sector knowledge.
