Publication_Number 
 
Agency related field that tracks any documents or information that we publish. 
 
UKPRN 
 
The UK Register of Learning Providers (UKRLP) is a ‘one-stop’ portal for 
government departments, agencies, learners and employers to share key 
information about learning providers. The UKRLP allows providers to update their 
information in one place and share this across agencies such as the Skills Funding 
Agency, the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) and UCAS. 
 
We use the UK Provider Register Number (UKPRN), which is verified by UKRLP, 
as part of our due diligence processes ahead of contracting with a provider.  
 
Each learning provider has a unique UKPRN, which must be used to submit data 
to us through the Individualised Learner Record. 
 
Further information about the UKPRN can be found from the UKRLP website: 
http://www.ukrlp.co.uk/ 
 
Provider_Name 
 
The Provider name is the name of the legal entity with whom we will enter into a 
contract. The provider name is verified by us using Companies House, UKRLP 
and audited accounts information provided by the provider.  
 
Where there is a change to the name of the legal entity that we contract with, this 
change will be shown in the next set of data we publish. We will not change data 
that has been published previously.

Individualised Learner Record data they have submitted to us. We compare those 
earnings to the providers’ contract value and apply our published performance 
management rules during the year to work out the value of activity that we will 
fund.
