RCG is a Government Commercial Agency framework supplier

Railway Competence Group (RCG) is a direct framework supplier to the Government Commercial Agency (GCA). We are pleased to highlight this position alongside our existing credentials as an Ofqual-regulated awarding organisation and rail assessment specialist.

Our framework supplier status

Our GCA framework position is separate from our regulatory approvals, certifications and industry memberships. It identifies RCG as a direct supplier on a GCA framework, rather than as a subcontractor.

Framework supplier status does not mean that RCG holds every government contract, or that every service we offer is available through the framework. Buyers should check the relevant agreement, its scope and its purchasing requirements before proceeding.

Supporting rail skills and competence

RCG provides independent apprenticeship assessment and train driver psychometric testing, working with employers, training providers and individual candidates across the rail sector.

As an Ofqual-regulated awarding organisation (RN6118), we award qualifications for the rail apprenticeship standards within our approved scope, including the Rail Foundation Apprenticeship (FA0010).

You can browse our apprenticeship standards, read about our apprenticeship assessment services or find out about train driver psychometric testing.

Find out more

Employers, training providers and public-sector buyers can contact RCG to discuss their requirements and ask about our framework position and the services available under the relevant agreement.

The official GCA Supplier identity now appears in the accreditations and industry memberships sections of our website. It represents our framework supplier status, not a government endorsement of RCG or its qualifications.
