This tender is classified under the industry category of education and training services with a total contract value of £350,000. The procurement process is open and is expected to conclude by 9th July 2021, with the contract period running from 6th September 2021 to 31st August 2022. Opportunities for service delivery will be available across various regions including North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, and others throughout the UK. This tender presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in educational services, employer engagement, and training support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to compete, given the suitability specified in the procurement criteria. Businesses that can offer innovative approaches for raising awareness of T Levels, delivering online training, and providing ongoing guidance to employers may find excellent opportunities to contribute to the successful implementation of the T Level Industry placements. ## Notice T Levels are at the heart of the drive to improve Technical Education. Every 16-19 year old student undertaking a T Level will be entitled to a high quality industry placement. While many employers understand apprenticeships and work experience, they are less certain about T Level Industry placements - what they entail, and how to work with students and providers to structure an appropriate placement. We need to ensure that employers are well informed and well-disposed to offer placements in the uncertain period as we emerge from the covid19 pandemic building on previous employer support package work in this area. This procurement competition will put in place a new programme of support building on the success of the previous model and will involve: - raising awareness of T levels and industry placement among employers, including targeting specific routes that are proving particularly problematic. - providing the department with intelligence on employer behaviour and employment patterns - updating existing guidance including with new materials where appropriate and identifying any new guidance that might be needed. - delivering online webinars which can be recorded and accessed at any time; - providing a dedicated response team ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6fda7e73-7435-494f-9c88-24bd65cefafb | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Jun 2021 | | Submission deadline | 9 Jul 2021 | | Future notice date | 21 Jun 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Sep 2021 - 31 Aug 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £350,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3BT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 10 Jun 2021 at 15:58 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6fda7e73-7435-494f-9c88-24bd65cefafb - 19 May 2021 at 12:43 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/13cfbde7-fae6-454a-b69b-88ba2ec11002 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6fda7e73-7435-494f-9c88-24bd65cefafb 10th June 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/13cfbde7-fae6-454a-b69b-88ba2ec11002 19th May 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
