In plain English
Places for People Group is setting up a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to find and appoint multiple apprenticeship training providers. Providers will deliver apprenticeships to meet the needs of Places for People and potentially other UK public bodies. This is a framework-style arrangement where providers join an approved list and are called off as work becomes available.
What the buyer wants
• Supply and deliver apprenticeship training programmes that meet consistent quality standards • Provide a range of apprenticeship services to meet varying needs across different organisations • Be available as a pre-approved provider within the DPS so other public bodies can book your services • Demonstrate ability to deliver apprenticeships for both Places for People and external contracting authorities
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
You must be an approved apprenticeship training provider with established delivery capability, self-employed tradespeople or small businesses without formal apprenticeship training accreditation will likely be excluded, unless you partner with a registered training organisation.
How to bid
This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
