Overview

This course take participants through the process of writing outcome based service contract specifications.

It is designed for managers and staff involved in producing service specifications.

The drive for improved public sector commercialisation is taking many forms. None more important than improving contracting skills and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of government spending.

No matter what part of the public sector you are in, scarce resources have to be used effectively and this is being translated into improved standards of service specifications.

For a re-tender, just dusting down a service specification written 10 years ago is often no longer appropriate for today’s market.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
