Prior Information Notice: PSGW01632 | R SIGNALS CEQ Upskilling |MOD

Knowledgepool is looking to appoint a provider to develop and deliver R SIGNALS CEQ Upskilling.

A major restructuring of R SIGNALS Career Employment Groups (CEG) has been underway for several years. The new structures will replace all legacy CEGs starting from Apr 20. The new CEG roles will realign technical skills to meet new realities and requirements and align to the levels where these deployable technical skills are required. Within the industry environment these technical skills are met through technical training courses and are often recognised through qualification. In the development of Role Performance Standards for the new CEG the organisation has in part used the industry technical standards as a benchmark to identify and categorise technical capability.
Steady State Training (SST) will commence incrementally from Apr 20 and will not be in full delivery until 2028. This will leave a cohort of current serving personnel which will require up-skilling to meet the new standards for the roles they will occupy initially, and for those that they may move into, before they merge back into SST as it is incrementally delivered.
Over a delivery period of 5 years, upskilling will close the knowledge gap left though this change, provide blended learning opportunities and where appropriate remove the requirement to attend residential courses. The training packages offered will be available to all R SIGNALS Signaller to Sergeant and will differ for the legacy CEGs, allowing for class of trade, prior learning and current competence.
This requirement is expected to remain stable over the contract period.
