Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This contract is heavily weighted towards established training providers and larger organisations with proven track records in apprenticeship delivery. Small one-person trades businesses will struggle unless they have formal trainer accreditation, employer partnerships, and experience delivering structured apprenticeship programmes to national standards.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
