## Notice

The National Apprenticeship Awards celebrate their twenty first anniversary in 2024. They have achieved great success over these years, challenging the nation's top apprenticeship employers and apprentices to come forward and show how apprenticeships have made a real difference to their organisation. This year, we are expanding the awards to include T Level categories for the first time. This is part of the drive to promote the wider skills offer that is available. The National Apprenticeship and Skills Awards applications will open in June 2024. The Awards will be celebrated at 9 regional ceremonies (TBC) and a national award ceremony. The national finalists will celebrate their success and be recognised in November 2024. The Awards are designed to promote excellence in apprenticeships as: - National Apprenticeship Awards recognise the crucial role skills play in Skills for Life - Entering is a real opportunity for employers and individuals to gain the recognition they richly deserve for building the national skills base. - The Apprenticeship and Skills Awards winners will have the honour of celebrating their success at a decorative event in London. The Department for Education (DfE) is inviting you to tender to support the Awards team in line with the National Apprenticeship and Skills Awards strategy and targets. The appointed supplier/organisation will support by providing entry administration, quality assurance and end-to-end judging management for the National Apprenticeship and Skills Awards 2024 cycle, to include the national and regional judging processes. The successful organisation will need to work closely with partners, organisations, employers, and other suppliers working on the National Apprenticeship and Skills Awards.
