PUBLISHED DESCRIPTION

What the notice says

Skills England seeks to commission a supplier to undertake an exploratory study on the provision of training in England that takes place within the private sector. This will involve providing a summary of the total training market and the role of private training provision within this, identifying and assessing the impact of any evidence gaps in private training data, and determining the feasibility of collecting data to fill these gaps.
