This initiative falls under the education and training services industry category and encompasses various regions across the United Kingdom, including regions such as North East, South East, and London. The tender period will close on 15th September 2017, and it aims to facilitate essential training to support BBC's ambitious target of recruiting over 400 apprentices by February 2019. Interested parties must register through the BBC's BravoSolution e-Tendering portal to submit their proposals. This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in education and assessment services. Companies with experience in vocational training, particularly those offering EPAO services, would be well-positioned to compete. Moreover, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, enabling them to contribute to BBC's apprenticeship programme while fostering business growth through collaboration with a prominent organisation. This collaboration can enhance visibility and market reach within the education sector. ## Notice This is a procurement process seeking End-Point Assessment Organisations (EPAO) to support the delivery of apprenticeships jointly with BBC approved Apprenticeship Providers. The RFP documents accessible via the BBC Bravo portal will provide context and details to support EPAO's to submit their proposals on which apprenticeships and how they would facilitate and manage the end-point assessments of BBC apprentices against set evaluation criteria. This is with a view to joining a group of successful apprenticeship learning providers that will contribute to the BBC's target of 400+ apprenticeships by Feb'19.
