This framework offers opportunities for interested providers to offer apprenticeships at two levels within eligible public and third sector organisations in England. The tender deadline for submissions is set for November 6, 2023, with the contract period starting from December 1, 2023, to March 31, 2025. The procurement method for this opportunity is an open procedure above the threshold, with a total contract value amounting to GBP 1,500,000,000. This tender issued by the Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust presents a lucrative opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) within the education and training services industry category. Businesses looking to expand their operations in this sector can capitalise on this framework to secure contracts and grow their market presence. The framework aims to promote competition and selection based on a specified set of criteria, allowing a diverse range of providers to participate and contribute to the delivery of apprenticeships across various organisations within the specified period. ## Notice This Framework was established in February 2021 to replace the previous Dynamic Purchasing System operated by Salisbury NHSFT. This Framework operates at two levels - Level One, where any suitably qualified and eligible provider can submit details of all the apprenticeships they offer, and employers can then either direct award or, via Salisbury, conduct a further competition against their local needs. Level Two will be a smaller number of providers for a specific standard, appointed via a Further Competition, using a higher selection criteria published with each ITT. Both levels of listing are open across all our eligible public and third sector organisations. Level Two listed providers can be selected either by employer direct award or a further competition amongst those listed. This Requirement document covers the October 2023 opening of the Framework and constitutes Instructions to Suppliers including mandatory requirements. All Providers must agree to the Framework terms and conditions published as part of the Invitation to Tender (ITT) - amendments to those Terms will not be made for specific providers. Please note the final selection of providers to award for a specific requirement is a decision for employers and this Framework does not represent a spend commitment by any organisation. Incorrectly submitted responses will be rejected and the Trust is not obliged to offer an opportunity for suppliers to resubmit correctly.
