The tender is currently in the active phase, having a submission deadline on 10th May 2019, and the contract period will commence on 1st October 2019 and conclude on 1st September 2029. The process follows an open procedure, ensuring transparency and inclusiveness in bidding.

T Levels are a new classroom-based technical study programme forming part of the UK Government's Post-16 Skills Plan. They will be available to young people alongside apprenticeships as one half of a high quality technical education offer. T Levels will be primarily studied at an education or training provider. Students will study a broad occupational area before specialising, and will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills on a substantial industry placement. This procurement is divided into six Lots, with five Lots representing the Technical Qualification component of a T Level, and one Lot (Construction) representing two Technical Qualifications. See the Information about Lots and the procurement documents for further details of the contracts(s) and services to be delivered.
