This training initiative is aimed at promoting effective management, aligning with the university’s strategic plan to enhance student and staff experiences. The procurement process began on March 13, 2019, with a closing date for submissions set for April 12, 2019. The training is to commence around September 2019, and the contract period extends from September 1, 2019, to August 31, 2021, with an estimated total value of £240,000 over four years, supported entirely by the apprenticeship levy funding. The training will provide instruction at the university's premises in Sunderland and potentially London. This tender presents significant opportunities for training and development providers that specialise in higher education and management training services. Businesses focused on staff training, personal development, and management training services will find this opportunity particularly relevant, especially those that can offer a blended learning approach with both face-to-face and online elements. The selected provider will help shape the apprenticeship programme to meet the specific needs of university staff, thereby enhancing their market presence and contributing to the continuous professional development landscape in higher education. ## Notice Overall Requirement - Specification for the supply of Apprenticeship level 3 Team Leader Training Our strategic plan and people strategy both highlight the importance of having managers that are motivated, responsive, inclusive and adaptable so that the University can deliver on its goals for students and staff. The University of Sunderland is looking to find a training provider (on the register of training providers) who preferably has experience within the HE sector, and who can deliver a Team Leader level 3 apprenticeship, starting approximately September 2019, and funded 100% through the apprenticeship levy. The appointed supplier will be required to attend campus (Sunderland and or London) for face to face training, and work based assessment. A blended learning approach is encouraged, but this should not replace all face to face contact. The schedule must be structured in advance, to ensure the University of Sunderland can provide adequate rooms for any face to face delivery, or private space if required for portfolio building. The chosen supplier will provide training, advice and guidance to both groups and on a one-to-one basis. The purpose of this contract is to provide a fully comprehensive contract, to deliver 2 x cohorts within a maximum of 2 x 18 months period. The cohorts will be up to a maximum of 12 candidates. The tenderer shall provide comprehensive costs for the delivery of the scheme. The contract shall be covered 100% by the apprenticeship levy funding charges. Although the modules required will be set via the apprenticeship standards, an opportunity to shape the content of face to face sessions to suit the culture and challenges within higher education is key, this will require working in partnership with the Organisation and Staff Development team. There should be a planned approach to the 20% off the job element of the apprenticeship, ensuring a blended learning approach is taken, the University of Sunderland can support some of the development of this time through experiential learning projects. The contract is for 2 years' with the option to extend for a further 2 years (in 12 monthly increments) the estimated value for 4 years (no guarantees on spend level) is PS240,000 we reserve the right to spend a further 40% of the anticipated spend, subject to changes to further requirements across the University for the duration of the award Additional information: Applications and Expressions of Interest strictly via the University of Sunderland In-Tend Portal. https://in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofsunderland/aspx/Home Funding Description Apprenticeship Levy funded Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e79520a-2ac2-4dcb-9ff8-8a0818cdf01c | | 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 | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Mar 2019 | | Submission deadline | 12 Apr 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2019 - 31 Aug 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | UNIVERSITY OF SUNDERLAND | | Locality | SUNDERLAND | | Post town | Sunderland | | Postcode | SR1 3SD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC44 Sunderland | | Local authority | Sunderland | | Electoral ward | Millfield | | Westminster constituency | Sunderland Central | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80511000 - Staff training services - 80532000 - Management training services - 80570000 - Personal development training services ## Release History - 27 Mar 2019 at 16:00 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e79520a-2ac2-4dcb-9ff8-8a0818cdf01c - 27 Mar 2019 at 15:59 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e79520a-2ac2-4dcb-9ff8-8a0818cdf01c - 27 Mar 2019 at 12:12 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e79520a-2ac2-4dcb-9ff8-8a0818cdf01c - 19 Mar 2019 at 09:08 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e79520a-2ac2-4dcb-9ff8-8a0818cdf01c - 19 Mar 2019 at 09:06 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e79520a-2ac2-4dcb-9ff8-8a0818cdf01c - 13 Mar 2019 at 10:47 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e79520a-2ac2-4dcb-9ff8-8a0818cdf01c - 13 Mar 2019 at 10:38 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e79520a-2ac2-4dcb-9ff8-8a0818cdf01c - 13 Mar 2019 at 10:37 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e79520a-2ac2-4dcb-9ff8-8a0818cdf01c - 13 Mar 2019 at 10:32 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e79520a-2ac2-4dcb-9ff8-8a0818cdf01c - 13 Mar 2019 at 10:32 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e79520a-2ac2-4dcb-9ff8-8a0818cdf01c - 13 Mar 2019 at 10:31 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e79520a-2ac2-4dcb-9ff8-8a0818cdf01c - 13 Mar 2019 at 10:29 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e79520a-2ac2-4dcb-9ff8-8a0818cdf01c - 13 Mar 2019 at 10:26 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e79520a-2ac2-4dcb-9ff8-8a0818cdf01c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e79520a-2ac2-4dcb-9ff8-8a0818cdf01c 27th March 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofsunderland/aspx/ Additional information on how to apply for this contract ## Notice URLs - http://services.sunderland.ac.uk/finance/sections/procurement/ - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofsunderland/aspx/Home ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
