    Brief

    The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) are conducting preliminary market engagement to understand supplier capabilities for an Apprenticeship Learner Management System. The Authorities seek a solution to manage the complete apprenticeship lifecycle, including apprentice enrolment, provider management, learner tracking, performance monitoring, levy spend management, reporting, analytics, and apprenticeship completion and progression activities. The system will initially support approximately 1,800 active apprentices across both organisations, with anticipated growth to between 5,000 and 6,000 learners during the contract period. The solution must provide effective oversight of apprenticeship providers, learner progress, and management information requirements. This engagement is conducted through a Request for Information (RFI) to inform the Authorities' procurement strategy, potential delivery approaches, and commercial models. Interested suppliers should email samantha.hunt@defra.gov.uk to access the RFI document and submit clarification questions.
