title: Apprenticeships Commissioning Programme Wales Framework Agreement

description:
Whilst we have emerged from the impact of COVID-19 we now have a cost of living crisis therefore we have a recognised economic need to support disabled individuals into education, employment, or training during the current financial year.
The Welsh Government are therefore extending the EIS for disabled apprentices until 31 March 2025. We believe there is a need for targeted support to address employer concerns over employing a disabled person. The introduction of the Employer Incentive Payment for disabled people has been a significant factor to maintaining an increase in disabled apprenticeship starts, which have grown to over 9%. Whilst the labour market is now improving it is expected that numbers of disabled people seeking employment will rise and we therefore need to continue to offer EIS support to employers in order to help them continue to provide opportunities for disabled apprentices. We will strictly monitor the uptake of the programme. We will also reserve the right to suspend AEIS payments if it appears that demand is at risk of exceeding the available budget.
The AEIS payment supports the commitment to continue developing a culture where recruiting an apprentice becomes the norm for employers in addition to recognising the need to make apprenticeships a credible alternative to the academic route for young people.
In recognition of the administrative burden placed on lead providers in managing the Apprentice Employer Incentive payment process and collating relevant evidence to support payments, we will award providers an administration fee for each learner recruited under this incentive programme. This fee is set at GBP 100 (inclusive of VAT) per learner and will be payable in full once the learner has been employed for 4 weeks.
Further details of payments available to employers in relation to the Apprentice Employer Incentive can be found here: https://businesswales.gov.wales/skillsgateway/skills-and-training-programmes/apprenticeships/funding-available

periodRationale: Adopting a 4 year fixed term framework agreement with the ability to extend up to a maximum of 6 years should provide Welsh Government with the opportunity to limit the number of displaced apprentices that may arise if the procurement process had to be repeated more regularly.

description: Training services

rationale: Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: Noting the limited duration/ value of the disabled AEIS, ACP providers are best placed to deliver for technical reasons given the relevant systems, information on employers and apprentices they have in place, to ensure efficacy of the scheme. Appointing alternative providers would result in unnecessary cost duplication, (1)setting up separate EIS administration systems, such as, data sharing agreements with the ACP providers to obtain details of the relevant employers and apprentices; (2)significant liaison with ACP providers to confirm details pertinent to each apprentice including confirming each learner has started their apprenticeship, and is employed within 14 weeks from apprenticeship start to ensure AEIS payments are paid in a timely manner. The payment to the provider of GBP100 per apprentice would not be satisfactory recompense to warrant establishing a separate framework of providers for the disabled AEIS. The maximum amount paid to ACP providers will not exceed GBP 19,000.

description:
The Welsh Government has extended the financial incentives to encourage employers to recruit disabled apprentices until 31 March 2025. The Welsh economy is emerging from the COVID pandemic, however with the cost-of-living crisis effecting both individuals and businesses, we believe the continuation of the AEIS for disabled apprentices is needed to help encourage employers to employ a disabled person during to current climate. We believe that the disabled AEIS is crucial in supporting employers who have been negatively impacted in the Welsh labour market.
Providers contracted under the ACP framework will be able to claim a management fee in recognition of the additional administration needed. Providers will receive a payment of GBP 100 per apprentice supported via the AEIS. The maxim administration payment paid to providers will not exceed GBP 19,000 during financial year 2024 – 2025.

procurementMethodRationale: This was due to the need to engage directly with the supplier of the scholarships to achieve best value for money for the taxpayer - any other route to market would involve additional layers of bureaucracy, stakeholders and spend. No alternative equivalent sponsorship programme has been identified. After a search of potential frameworks around sponsorships found no suitable alternative it was concluded that the most appropriate route to market for this requirement was to negotiate with the Supplier direct.

Introduction
UK Shared Business Services (UKSBS), on behalf of the UK Research and Innovation through Innovate UK wishes to establish a contract for the provision of an International Accelerator Programme for the Energy Team. This will include support for both the UK companies and international partners.
Aims & Objectives
The aim of the accelerator programme is to provide commercialisation services to sit along side some of our overseas energy projects clustered in the eastern European region, ensuring the businesses taking part in the projects are commercially ready as well as technologically ready. Although the accelerator programme will be optional for our funded projects, we would expect most or all of the projects in this portfolio to take advantage of the support offered through the programme. The support will be a mixture of supporting fundamental programme requirements with all projects, 1 to 1 business support, connecting to the wider industry as well as communications activities.
There are four core objectives:
1. Provide core support to enable projects to achieve their project outputs in an ODA eligible country.
2. Provide business support to project leads to help them commercialise (no matter where they are in the world).
3. Engage with wider sector to help the organisations achieve their goals.
4. Provide communication and dissemination activities to demonstrate the meaningful impacts the programme is having.
We are hoping to achieve the following outputs:
- Organisations which have increased their commercial readiness.
- Technologies that are closer to market.
- A group of projects which feel like a cohort.
- Investment engagements with companies.
- Knowledge sharing between projects and the wider energy and government space.
- Promotion of Gender Equality and Social Inclusion.
- Impact which is disseminated globally.
Background to the Requirement
The Energy Access team at Innovate UK have funded a number of programmes within the ODA space. Its flagship programme, The Energy Catalyst, has committed over £200m of support helping companies to commercialise low carbon energy solutions in both the UK and in Africa and Asia. The team have recently expanded to look at technology specific areas
such as diesel genset replacement. More information on these specific programmes can be found here:
• https://energycatalyst.ukri.org/
• https://www.ze-gen.org/ze-gen/
More recently we have started working with FCDO High Commissions in country to develop programmes specific for their needs and the portfolio to be supported through this work is the first output of this collaboration.
The programme is focussed on supporting regions with historically high reliance on fossil fuels and the programme will play a part in helping these economies to re-imagine their energy systems using the latest innovations supported through this work.
The aim of the programme is to accelerate the regional energy transition and ensure the resulting energy supply is low-carbon, affordable and secure.
The projects must:
• focus on the specific needs of the programme.
• be an innovative technology or business model that is low-carbon, affordable and secure.
• create energy resilience or build access to clean energy in the future. Scope
The accelerator will support 13 projects for up to 21 months involving organisations predominantly in UK and Eastern Europe but with wider teams worldwide. The winning supplier must be able to support organisations no matter where they are located in the world to ensure the programme is fully untied as required under UK ODA rules.
The duration of the agreement will be between July 2024 and March 2026 for a total period of 21 months. Due to the funding limitations, we are not able to extend the accelerator service beyond March 2026 and this should be considered a hard-stop date. This date also coincides with the end of the projects funded under this programme.

If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management in CPD for further action. If this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act of grave professional misconduct and they may be issued with a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance and the contract may be terminated.
