The tender, classified under the Education and Training Services industry category, was open to various public and third-sector organisations across England. The procurement followed an open procedure and was published on 9th October 2024, with a contract period starting from 1st December 2024 and ending on 31st March 2027. The awarded contract has a value of GBP 250,000,000, with initial publication dates and tender amendments noted until January 2025. Primary contact for the procurement process is Simon Dennis from Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in apprenticeships training and education services to secure substantial contracts through both direct awards and further competitions. SME (small and medium-sized enterprises) and VCSE (voluntary, community and social enterprises) are particularly encouraged to participate. The flexible framework allows qualified providers to list their apprenticeship offerings for direct selection or engage in more competitive procurements for specific standards. By joining this framework, businesses can expand their market presence within the large network of participating public sector organisations, including government departments, educational establishments, NHS bodies, and various non-profit organisations. ## Notice This Framework was established in February 2021 to replace the previous Dynamic Purchasing System operated by Salisbury NHSFT. This Framework operates at two levels - Level One, where any suitably qualified and eligible provider can submit details of all the apprenticeships they offer, and employers can then either direct award or, via Salisbury, conduct a further competition against their local needs. Level Two will be a smaller number of providers for a specific standard, appointed via a Further Competition, using a higher selection criteria published with each ITT. Both levels of listing are open across all our eligible public and third sector organisations. Level Two listed providers can be selected either by employer direct award or a further competition amongst those listed. This Requirement document covers the October 2024 opening of the Framework and constitutes Instructions to Suppliers including mandatory requirements. All Providers must agree to the Framework terms and conditions published as part of the Invitation to Tender (ITT) - amendments to those Terms will not be made for specific providers. Please note the final selection of providers to award for a specific requirement is a decision for employers and this Framework does not represent a spend commitment by any organisation. Incorrectly submitted responses will be rejected and the Trust is not obliged to offer an opportunity for suppliers to resubmit correctly.
