## Summary

The University of East Anglia is conducting an award process for the procurement titled "PURCON 879 - Apprenticeships Providers." This initiative falls under the education and training services industry and aims to establish partnerships with training providers to enhance the university's apprenticeship offerings. The contract is set to be active from 1st August 2020 to 31st July 2023, following a restricted procurement method. The tender period ended on 7th June 2020, with the award announcement published on 20th August 2020. The primary location for service delivery is Norwich, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in training and education services, particularly those focusing on apprenticeships and workforce development. Companies with the capability to deliver both High Volume Apprenticeships as well as tailored Business Specific Apprenticeships would be particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract. Enterprises looking to expand their service offerings in the education sector may find this an excellent avenue for growth, especially those that can demonstrate a commitment to high-quality learning experiences and positive apprentice outcomes.

## Notice

The UEA has decided to carry out a full review of its apprenticeship offering. We are looking to carry out a process in this remit to identify training providers [providers] for a wide range of apprenticeships. Until now, apprenticeships have not been offered on a large scale at the UEA. Our aim is to source providers that can support the UEA to maximise its levy commitments by delivering apprenticeships to new and existing employees. Our focus is on ensuring our apprentice learners have a high quality learning experience. We will measure provider success based on qualitative feedback, completion rates, % with highest pass rates (under new standards), retention of apprentices, quality and relevancy of teaching & learning, and career progression of apprentices. At this stage we envisage a high percentage will be delivered from just a few apprenticeship standards that match up to common roles across the University. These will be called High Volume Apprenticeships. The rest will be specific to the relevant faculties/business areas - Business Specific Apprenticeships. The list below identifies the types of apprenticeship standards we are most likely to utilise, but this may change in time. All learners work in Norwich. We are tendering to: 1. Identify a Preferred Provider that can deliver all the High Volume Apprenticeships as well as any business specific apprenticeships within their capability. 2. Identify apprenticeship training providers that can deliver any Business Specific Apprenticeships, either in isolation or in any combination within their capability.
