Notice Title

T Levels Wave 2

Notice Description

This Notice is a CALL FOR COMPETITION to select supplier(s) for the award of contract(s) to design, implement and deliver the Technical Qualification component for each of the seven T Levels of the UK Government's Wave 2 - T Level programme. T Levels are a new classroom-based technical study programme forming part of the UK Government's Post-16 Skills Plan. They will be available to young people alongside apprenticeships as one half of a high quality technical education offer. T Levels will be primarily studied at an education or training provider. Students will study a broad occupational area before specialising, and will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills on a substantial industry placement. This procurement is divided into six Lots, with five Lots representing the Technical Qualification component of a T Level, and one Lot (Construction) representing two Technical Qualifications. See the Information about Lots and the procurement documents for further details of the contracts(s) and services to be delivered. Additional information: This procurement process is being run by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education. For the purpose of this notice the "Authority" means the Institute.

This procurement is being 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.
