    Brief

    Direct Award to King's College London for delivering a flexible, modular postgraduate learning programme for mid-career civil servants from January 2026 through July 2027. The programme supports professional development aligned with UK Civil Service policy profession standards (Level 2) and includes standalone module enrolment and postgraduate certificate/diploma options. The final enrolment deadline for the postgraduate certificate/diploma is March 2027. This direct award ensures continuity of accredited learning provision during a gap period before a full competitive procurement exercise begins in September 2027. King's College London is the only available supplier offering flexible, modular learning explicitly aligned to the policy profession standards, and this contract route provides significant cost savings compared to current per-student rates. The award also enables the contracting authority to conduct a comprehensive market procurement to test policy profession requirements against the broader higher education sector.
