Notice Description

Award of contract(s) to design, implement and deliver the Technical Qualification (TQ) component for each of the six T Levels of the UK Government's Wave 3 - T Level programme.

This is divided into six Lots, with six Lots representing the TQ component of a T Level. Additional information: This procurement was conducted under Directive 2014/23/EU and the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 (Directive and Regulations respectively). As the services which are the subject of the procurement fall within Annex IV of the Directive and Schedule 3 of the Regulations, the Procurement is subject to lighter regulation in accordance with Article 19 and Regulation 19. Accordingly, whilst the Authority intends to conduct this procurement as a form of OPEN procedure, it shall only be bound by those obligations referred to in Article 19 and Regulation 19.
