Notice Title

T level Professional Development - Future Delivery Options

Notice Description

T Level Professional Development - Future Delivery Options (TLPD) Early Supplier Engagement Notice (ESE) To note: This ESE does not signify the commencement of any competitive process and does not constitute any commitment by the Department for Education (DfE). If DfE decides to commence any competitive process(es) as contemplated by this notice, a separate notice(s) will be published at the relevant time. Purpose of this notice The purpose of this ESE is to inform the market that DfE is considering its options for the continued provision of professional development support to Further Education (FE) providers who deliver T Level courses. DfE is committed to the strategic aim of the T Level programme which offers students practical and knowledge-based learning at a school or college and on-the-job experience through an industry placement. To facilitate the roll out and delivery of T Level courses, DfE has funded a professional development programme (TLPD) which has prepared and improved the capability of providers and their teachers, leaders and staff to deliver T Level courses to students. The TLPD programme mainly provides support for new T Level providers but it also provides ongoing support for providers already delivering T Level courses. The current TLPD programme for FE providers is delivered under contract until June 2024. DfE currently consider there will be a continuing need for a TLPD programme after this date to support the delivery of newly introduced T Levels and support current providers delivering additional T Level courses. It is anticipated that the current TLPD delivery requirements will continue for a minimum period of two years, before moving to a more self-sustaining system of professional development in the longer term. How to engage Initially DfE is asking interested organisations to complete a questionnaire to help develop an understanding of interest in delivering TLPD and delivery considerations. Please respond to the survey by 07 April 2023 (the survey will remain open after that date for more responses). Initial analysis of the responses to the questionnaire may lead further engagement via a webinar and/or short 1-2-1 discussions in the future.
