We appreciate the time and insight provided through your responses. For the avoidance of doubt, this UK2 notice is NOT advertising a new engagement nor is it extending the previous one. The purpose of this notice is to update the market on the Department’s indicative next steps following the end of the market engagement exercise. Following our assessment of the feedback received, we have identified the following capability areas as priorities for further exploration: • ES04 – Financial Planning • ES08 – Job Market Insights • ES11 – Application Tracking We are currently developing our requirements, exploring delivery and commercial options, and considering indicative timelines for these areas. As a result, no procurement activity is being launched at this stage. The remaining capability areas explored during the market engagement exercise are not currently being progressed. However, they may be revisited in the future should departmental priorities or requirements change. We would like to thank all participants for their valuable contributions, which have been instrumental in shaping our thinking and informing future decisions. Further updates will be provided to the market should any formal procurement activity be taken forward.
