Description

The Finance Community  & Professions Team (FCPT) are looking to procure CIPFA as an alternative qualification for our finance apprentices. Currently, finance apprentices can only undertake AAT and CIMA qualifications. (with ACCA and ACA only on an exceptional basis). Having the CIPFA qualification will broaden out the range of qualifications that our finance apprentices can choose from. Another business driver is that CIPFA is the only finance qualification that is focused on the public sector and so the qualification brings with it learning material that is not contained in the other qualifications. In having a greater product offering for individuals to choose from will help HMRC remain competitive in attracting and maintaining the best finance talent across government and beyond. This aligns with the People theme in HMRC's strategy. The cost of acquiring CIPFA will be borne from the Apprenticeship Levy, so HMRC will not incur any costs as such. If this requirement is not approved, then finance apprentices will have less choice in the finance qualifications that they can take, and HMRC will have a less competitive range of qualifications to offer than some of the OGDs.

Ofgem 2025-011 Benchmarking Services for OFTO Tender Rounds 10-14

The OFTO team requires a benchmarking advisor to provide support on OFTO transactions and ensure that the most competitive pricing of any financial instrument is achieved at financial close. The advisor will need to demonstrate that a clear and transparent process is followed in arriving at this pricing. They will also ensure that the terms of financing of the three projects within Tender Round 10 (TR10), one project in Tender Round 11 (TR11), one project in Tender Round 12 (TR12) and three projects in Tender Round 13 (TR13) are favourable for consumers. Ofgem do plan on extending this work to Tender Round 14 (TR14) but the scope of this work is not yet known. The supplier shall provide expert advice on the hedging process up to and at Financial Close (FC) on TR10, TR11, TR12, TR13 and TR14. The scope of work is as follows: * Review the structure of the interest rate and inflation hedging profiles and calculations and confirm that this is an acceptable structure or alternatively provide review of the structuring of underlying GILT for pricing any public bond. * Provide indicative market pricing/updated pricing on all hedging and underlying GILT on request to ensure the most competitive rates are achieved. * Proactive alerts on material market movements which may impact the pricing, including forewarning of any market activity which may create volatility and advise on how to manage this. * Agree hedge term sheets/model outputs with the hedge providers where necessary. * Provide/review the proposed execution protocol for the required hedging and/or bond issuance and negotiate this protocol with the hedge bank(s)/providers as necessary. * Undertake offline benchmark pricing exercises to establish mid-market levels and ensure pricing is agreed as a margin over mid-level. * Identify any anomalies which may indicate additional margins for the hedge providers. * Coordinate dry run pricing leading up to the FC and manage a series of 'dry runs' with all relevant parties, including but not limited to Ofgem and its financial adviser(s)plus the FC execution call. * Advisors are also required to liaise directly with Ofgem on any issues identified.
