The Scottish Government has a requirement to place a contract with an external service provider for the provision of Psychometric Testing Services and a Supporting Web-Based Platform.
As part of an HR Transformation Programme, a new Applicant Tracking System (ATS) has been selected and tested to which will provide hiring managers with 24/7 access to real time reporting and will improve the hiring process.  The ATS system provided by iCIMS went live in December 2021.
The HR Transformation Programme has also identified that the current method for HR Assessments and Associated services can be modernised and therefore have a requirement for a supplier to provide a digital platform providing assessments that applicants are able to complete online and in their own time thus removing the current requirement for applicants to book and attend assessment days.  The new system will be required to integrate with the ATS system to provide a simple, one-stop shop user friendly experience for applicants.
This will be advertised as a single supplier contract opportunity. The supplier will be required to provide assessment and related services relating to the recruitment and internal vacancy filling including our Graduate Development Programme on behalf of the Scottish Government Directorates, Agencies and Non-Ministerial Offices.
The contract will be for a period of  18 months with the option to extend for up to an additional 12 months.

description:
The CAA are the sole regulator of civil aviation in the UK.  Accordingly, they are the sole authority with the ability to grant permissions for operation and testing of Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) aircraft in UK airspace. The CAA Innovation Hub is the ‘thinktank’ for the CAA in regard to it’s regulatory policies and the UK airspace.
The process for obtaining permissions to conduct the trials required to demonstrate safe operations and obtain regulatory approvals is inherently complex. The police service will require significant buy in and ultimately, approvals from the UK aviation safety regulator, the CAA, to operate drones BVLOS on a routine basis.
The CAA Innovation Hub is an integral part of the UK CAA who can provide a direct advisory link to the regulator to ensure that the process is achieved in the most efficient and cost-effective manner.
The Innovation Hub allows the development of new and innovative aviation systems to progress in line with CAA principles, and will allow the NPAS project team to access CAA expertise and guidance directly.
By working with the CAA Innovation Hub,  NPAS will have a direct link to the CAA for its BVLOS project that would not be unavailable with any other supplier and this will allow NPAS to anticipate regulatory challenges and where possible, inform the development of new policies and regulations.
Whilst there is aviation expertise and experience outside of the CAA Innovation Hub, the CAA Innovation Hub is uniquely placed to assist NPAS by virtue of their position within the UK Aviation Regulatory Sector and their unparalleled close working relationship with the CAA policy maker. Additionally, the use of the CAA Innovation Hub provides singular quality assurance in regard to their credibility, which is unavailable elsewhere in the marketplace for this type of expertise.
Engaging an alternative supplier would add a layer of complexity to the aims of the Project, as an interface would be required between that supplier and the CAA, which is made unnecessary by using the CAA Innovation Hub.  This is especially important in view of the complex nature of the Project.  The CAA Innovation Hub are the only supplier that could be engaged without the need to incorporate a third party into the Project to act as an interface between NPAS and the CAA. Engaging with a third party would substantially add further delays to the project as any third party would need to obtain all relevant regulatory approvals, which have proven to be extremely time consuming. The CAA Innovation Hub involvement in this process dramatically reduces this time scale
The exclusive benefits that are solely available by working with the CAA Innovation Hub are:
-	Direct link to CAA that is not available via any other supplier allowing NPAS to better adhere to the CAA process.
-	By working with the CAA Innovation Hub NPAS would be vicariously embedded into the CAA,  allowing for NPAS to be at the coal face of the developments required for the Project, placing NPAS in a unique position to influence planning, manage the various expectations and assure resource allocation.
-	NPAS will also be vicariously embedded in the CAA Innovation Hub’s Sandbox challenges for the Detect and Avoid technical demonstrators that the drone industry are participating in, enabling a cost efficient approach, intelligent partnering and quality assurance.
-	Full oversight of the developments and innovations currently underway within the wider aviation sector which will influence existing and any future drone activity and regulatory developments. These will be reported upon and influence our planning and decision making.
-	Expedite communications to and from the relevant CAA sectors and stakeholders.

title: Business & Tourism's Familiarisation Visits

description:
The BATP will conduct familiarisation visits for our key markets: Canada, UK, USA and Europe in July/August 2022 to coincide with the Commonwealth Games, showcasing Birmingham and the West Midlands region as a business events destination.
We will invite delegates who have a high potential to organize future business events in the West Midlands. To attract them to make the visit we would need to make the offer of a visit to the region as appealing as possible. Therefore, WMGC will need to procure hotel rooms for delegates to stay in during the games.
The purpose of the activity is to increase awareness of the region, change perceptions and engage with conference and business event organisers to educate, inspire and encourage them to bring their conference business to the region.
Key Outputs
•	The ability to host delegates in region as part of a familiarisation programme is essential experience designed to raise awareness of the region and educate business event organisers on the offer presented by West Midlands.
•	By hosting delegates during the games, we anticipate the activity to contribute towards building a sufficient future pipeline of conference bids in order to secure 11 conference wins by 2026.
•	Integrating with the work of the Conference Ambassador Network, it will allow us to connect both local ambassadors and HQ decision makers on territory.
Rationale for Procurement
•	As part of the BATP, hosted familiarisation visits will be held during summer 2022 for key markets (UK, Europe and N America).
•	These visits will highlight the best of Birmingham and West Midlands products (conference/meeting venues, accommodation, experiences, dining) to key contacts, supporting both awareness and appetite for travel to the region.
•	There will be a cross programme collaboration between WMGC and VisitBritain in-market teams to deliver this activity.
•	The FAM visits will support relationships with key buyers to strengthen the region's image and increase the volume and value of business events coming into the region by stimulating future growth within the sector and supporting markets that produce high value.
We require hotel accommodation that can provide 15 x Bedroom, Bed & Breakfast from Wednesday 27th July 2022 - Saturday 6th August 2022 for our delegates.

This notice is intended to:
1. Advise of the forthcoming virtual market engagement event which will be held on 10 October 2022 between 15:00 and 16:00; and
2. Ask suppliers to complete a short questionnaire; and
3. Assess market interest and capability to deliver the UK Assistance Centre requirements.
The UK Assistance Centre will be the service responsible for providing information and advice to support overseas professionals seeking to practise their profession in the UK, and UK-qualified professionals seeking to work overseas. The Assistance Centre is the single point of contact for information for those seeking to work in regulated professions. A regulated profession is one in which there are restrictions to pursuing the activities or a subset of activities of the profession, such as for doctors, and/or restrictions for using a professional title, such as the use of 'architect.'
The service will provide support to overseas professionals looking for information on the qualification and experience requirements to work in UK regulated and chartered professions, and to UK-qualified users looking for information on the regulatory requirements to work overseas. We anticipate that this will primarily be through the signposting of users towards the relevant regulator or professional body. Queries can include information about entry or practice requirements for regulated professions in the UK, and overseas professions.
Advice relating to regulatory entry requirements to work in the UK will be provided by regulators and professional bodies. This information needs to be maintained on a newly designed gov.uk database (the Regulated Professions Register). Regulators and professional bodies will be responsible for maintaining the information in the database and ensuring that it remains up to date. The Assistance Centre supplier will facilitate this.
We are keen to work with interested suppliers to develop the scope of the service. At this stage, we are interested in hearing ideas from suppliers on how they propose delivering the individual elements of the service, and better understand the level of market interest.
This notice has been issued with a high-level overview of the service requirements and proposed market engagement activities. The market engagement will consist of two separate activities:
1.	A supplier questionnaire
2.	A Virtual Market Engagement Event
The overall aim of these engagements will be to:
-	Provide the opportunity to engage with the market and assess market interest in delivering the UK Assistance Centre requirements; and
-	Allow interested parties to ask questions about the UK Assistance Centre service.
Supplier Questionnaire:
Suppliers are invited to complete the questionnaire ahead of the Virtual Market Engagement Event on 10 October 2022. Responses to the questionnaire will be used to inform the content of the Virtual Market Engagement Event.
The questionnaire can be accessed here:
https://forms.office.com/r/g5rfa0ApiM
Virtual Market Engagement Event:
Suppliers are invited to attend a Virtual Market Engagement Event on 10 October 2022 between 15:00 and 16:00. The virtual session will be held via Microsoft Teams. During the session, we will offer an introduction to the UK Assistance Centre, provide an overview of the service, and answer any questions.
To book your attendance at the Virtual Market Engagement Event (max two per organisation), please email joe.worthington@beis.gov.uk no later than 5 October 2022.
Please note that BEIS does not in any way intend for this market engagement to trigger a competition. Any potential future competition is subject to internal Departmental approvals.
Qualified professionals work at the forefront of our public services and are crucial to the UK's world-leading services sectors. Consumers value the high-quality services that they receive from these professionals. In the UK, there are more than 200 professions regulated in law by a network of more than 80 regulators, with many more regulated on a voluntary basis.
Regulated professionals provide important contributions to our economy and society, including in sectors such as medicine and healthcare, education, legal services, and architecture. The regulation of professions includes the recognition of professional qualifications gained in other countries.
In the Professional Qualifications Act 2022, the government put in place a new approach to recognising professional qualifications gained overseas. This will replace the previous EU-derived system. The Act makes provision for an Assistance Centre that will support professionals navigate the regulatory landscape in the UK and overseas.
The high-level objectives of the UK Assistance Centre are to:
•	Enable the UK government to meet its obligations under Section 7 of the Professional Qualifications Act 2022.
•	Provide advice and signposting to overseas professionals seeking to work in regulated and chartered professions in the UK, and to UK-qualified users looking for information on the requirements to work in professions overseas.
•	Identify overseas regulators and competent authorities to signpost queries for countries where there is no national support service (e.g. a NARIC/ENIC) or single point of contact.
•	Publish advice on the entry requirements to work in UK regulated and chartered professions and overseas professions in a new online service (the Regulated Professions Register).
•	Support the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and other government departments with responding to queries from regulators and individual professionals and overseas counterparts as required.
•	Promote the service of the UK Assistance Centre to ensure visibility of the service in the UK and internationally.
•	Establish and maintain productive relationships with UK regulatory authorities and Chartered Bodies.
•	Establish a system that delivers for UK businesses, including by removing information barriers for professionals providing services overseas.
•	Provide information held by the service to the Secretary of State upon request. This will include periodically commissioning data from UK regulators in a format specified by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
•	Support the input of data into the Regulated Professions Register and publish annual qualification recognition data returns uploaded by regulators into the Register. The supplier will not be responsible for the technical support and maintenance of the Regulated Professions Register, which is subject to an existing contract.
Requirements of the Assistance Centre
The requirement of the UK Assistance Centre is to deliver the obligations set out in Section 7 of the Professional Qualifications Act.
The Centre is legally obliged to provide support and guidance to overseas users seeking information on qualification and experience requirements needed to work in UK regulated and chartered professions, and to UK users seeking information on working overseas.
The supplier will work with regulators and professional bodies to provide comprehensive and up to date information on which professions in the UK are regulated; the regulators of each profession; and routes to recognition for overseas users looking to work in UK regulated professions. The supplier will be responsible for ensuring that information provided by regulators in a new Gov.uk database of regulated professions remains up to date (the 'Regulated Professions Register'). The Centre must be able to provide the Secretary of State any information that is held on request, in a GDPR-compliant way.
Alongside managing the Regulated Professions Register website, the Centre will be expected to commission recognition decision data from UK regulators and chartered bodies on an annual basis, ensure that this data is fully uploaded by professional bodies into the database on time, and undertake a sense check of the data.
When Section 7 is commenced, UK regulators will be legally required to provide any information requested by the Centre to support its functions and to assist with responding to queries.
Rationale
Currently, the UK Centre for Professional Qualifications provides a comparable service. However, the demands and use of the Assistance Centre are set to expand as the service transitions from an EU-focussed service to one with a global remit. There will be a continuing need for the supplier to invest in improving the delivery of the service to users and to ensure that information provided by regulators relating to routes to qualification recognition remain up to date as new Free Trade Agreements are signed and implemented, and Recognition Agreements are agreed between UK and overseas regulators.
The UK government's ambitious trade agenda will open up new markets for UK nationals (and those with UK qualifications) and attract overseas professionals who are interested in learning how they can use their qualifications and experience to work in regulated professions in the UK. The supplier will also be expected to provide signposting advice to UK users who are looking for information on the qualification and experience requirements to work in overseas countries and territories. The Assistance Centre, as the point of contact for information on the recognition of professional qualifications, will need to respond to the queries that arise to harness these new opportunities. Additional information: Future service deliverables
The service may also be asked to provide advice to support government assistance for refugees by providing them with information to access UK regulated professions - including those currently applying under the Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme and the Hong Kong British National (Overseas) route.
It is expected that the supplier will signpost and respond to queries regarding regulated and chartered professions redirected from existing complementary government support services to foster a joined-up government support package for services.
The number of queries currently received by the UK Centre for Professional Qualifications is low but fluctuates each month. The volume of complex queries is expected to remain low. We expect the number of queries to increase as new Free Trade Agreements are implemented and routes to recognition between the UK and overseas countries increase.
In line with UK government's 'digital first' policy, we are keen to understand how suppliers can utilise digital technology within their service offering.
Key elements of the service include:
-	Enquiry service - The Centre will provide a single point of contact for professionals, employers and professional bodies for advice on the regulation of professions in the UK and overseas, and to offer guidance on access requirements. The service will signpost queries from UK users to overseas counterparts, and from overseas users to the Regulated Professions Register. We are open to ideas on how suppliers can best respond to queries, with preference given to digital methods.
-	Website to publish entry requirements - We have developed a public database - the Regulated Professions Register - which brings together UK regulated professions, regulator contact details, routes to recognition, and recognition decision data uploaded by competent authorities. The supplier will be responsible for ensuring that regulators and chartered bodies keep their information up to date. The supplier will also be expected to publish advice on entry requirements for UK-qualified users seeking to work in overseas professions. We are open to suggestions on what type of advice it would be feasible to publish.
-	International contact point relationship management - The Centre will act as a point of contact for associated international assistance centre counterparts. Through the development and management of relationships with relevant bodies, the Centre will ensure that information on overseas counterparts and government contact points remain up to date for signposting overseas queries and, where possible, that support is provided to UK regulators and service users.
The supplier will on occasion also be expected to provide information to Government that could support the development of policy, including by:
-	Providing feedback on the delivery of the service, trends in demand, progress in meeting objectives and the current strategic approach and thinking to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and other relevant bodies.
-	Provision of advice, responses to, and representation of, the UK government and Devolved Administrations concerning international processes and developments.
-	Gathering feedback from professionals periodically to understand how they use the Assistance Centre service and any amendments that need to be made to the support provided.
Proposed budget: £200,000 (inclusive of VAT) per annum
