Mandatory Update for Workforce Education Framework (May 2025)

This is an important opportunity for suppliers in the workforce education sector. The CPD/Workforce Education Framework is being updated, and all existing suppliers must respond to remain on the Framework. New suppliers are also invited to apply. This Framework encompasses a wide range of educational services, from short courses to full degree programs, and is open to all eligible public and third sector organizations. Employers can select providers through a Direct Award or a Further Competition process. Suppliers applying for the first time must complete a new Supplier Questionnaire (SQ) as part of their application. Existing suppliers should update their course listings using the provided Excel document. All submissions must be sent via email to the specified addresses by the deadline, and must adhere to the required format. Note that the final selection of providers is at the discretion of the employers, and this Framework does not guarantee any spending commitments.
