## Summary

Shropshire Council is currently undertaking a tender process for "RMCV 021 - A Framework for the Provision of Apprenticeship Training" as part of the government's reform to apprenticeship funding. This initiative aims to create a framework of providers to deliver apprenticeship training starting from April 2017, utilising both the Apprenticeship Levy and supporting partner organisations. The tender was published on 8th January 2017, with submissions due by 6th February 2017. The services required fall within the vocational training category and will be delivered in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in vocational training and apprenticeship services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies equipped to offer apprentice training under the guidelines set forth by the Apprenticeship Levy will find this tender particularly relevant. Engaging in this framework can provide a pathway to expand their client base and increase their revenue streams by participating in county-wide apprenticeship initiatives.

## Notice

Shropshire Council is looking to create a framework of providers to deliver apprenticeship training from April 2017. This is in response to the government's reform of apprenticeships and the introduction of the Apprenticeship Levy which will come into effect on 1 April 2017. The council is looking to maximise the use of the Levy pot available across all its service areas whilst also supporting our partners to make use of their own levy pots by accessing our framework of providers.
