This is a large framework agreement running from August 2023 to July 2027, covering 15 different apprenticeship routes (such as construction, healthcare, digital) across 11 regions, with 646 different standards available. Providers can apply to deliver whichever apprenticeship routes and standards they're qualified for.
What the buyer wants

Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract almost certainly requires you to be a registered or registered-ready apprenticeship training provider, if you're not already in the apprenticeship training business or can't quickly become approved by the government, you won't be able to compete.
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.
