In plain English
Sanctuary Housing Association wants one or more partners to run its vocational and professional qualifications from start to finish, covering care, housing and business courses in England and Scotland. The supplier would take over enrolling learners, assessing them, quality checking the work and keeping the qualifications compliant, and would also take on Sanctuary's existing assessors.
What the buyer wants
• Deliver and assess care, housing and business qualifications across four lots: Care England, Care Scotland, Housing England and Scotland, and Business England and Scotland. • Manage learner administration, quality assurance and regulatory compliance, with a focus on learner experience and achievement rates. • Take on the existing assessors through TUPE transfer and manage them on an ongoing basis.
Lots
- Care England
- Care Scotland
- Housing England & Scotland
- Business England & Scotland
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Without awarding organisation status or approved centre recognition for these qualifications in both England and Scotland, and the capacity to absorb TUPE transferring staff across the lots, a small business would almost certainly be ruled out.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
