In this window, you can enter the following details. Required fields are marked with an *.

    • Subcontractor/Partner – This is for a subcontractor company delivering training on your behalf. You can have multiple subcontractors.
    • Prime – This is for a contract head company on whose behalf you are delivering training. You can have multiple primes.

  • Partner UKPRN – This is the UKPRN of the partner company. Subcontractor contracts, this will be the subcontractor company's UKPRN. For a prime contract, this will be your UKPRN. This field will not show for a direct contract as there will be no partner company involved.
