## Summary

The procurement process for the "S10353 Apprenticeships Training & End Point Framework, Final Opening Feb 25" is managed by Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust, located in Salisbury, England. The framework, encompassing the education and training services industry, is significant, valued at £1.5 billion, and operates under an open procurement method. Initiated in February 2021, it replaced a previous Dynamic Purchasing System, allowing providers to propose apprenticeships, with employers either directly awarding contracts or inviting competition. The framework extension runs from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2027, with the award process in the stage of completion as of 14 May 2025, following the tender period that ended on 3 March 2025. This final opening represents the last opportunity for suppliers to join the framework.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for business growth, particularly for service providers specialising in education and training. The framework's open nature allows a broad range of enterprises, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to compete and potentially secure contracts. The dual-level approach—open for all eligible providers and a more selective level for specific standards—caters to diverse business capabilities, encouraging innovation and adaptation to local needs. Companies with strategic expertise in offering training services can thrive by fulfilling the criteria and engaging with multiple public and third sector organisations, broadening their market reach and exposure.

## 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 February 2025 final 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. The Framework enters an extension period from 01 April 2025 until 31 March 2027. During this time, no new suppliers will be admitted. This Opening is therefore the final opportunity for new suppliers to apply to the Framework.
