This open tender aims to raise awareness and support for T Level industry placements for students aged 16-19. The tender period is set to end on 30th June 2021, with the award period commencing on 9th July 2021. The total estimated value of the contract is £291,667, and the contract duration is approximately 330 days, with potential for renewal in six-month increments. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in education and training services, particularly those focused on developing industry partnerships and supporting placements. Companies that can provide innovative training solutions, conduct webinars, and offer guidance materials tailored to employers would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, businesses with experience in engaging with educational institutions and understanding employment patterns will find this opportunity especially relevant as educational dynamics evolve in the post-pandemic landscape. ## Notice T Levels are at the heart of the drive to improve Technical Education. Every 16-19 year old student undertaking a T Level will be entitled to a high quality industry placement. While many employers understand apprenticeships and work experience, they are less certain about T Level Industry placements - what they entail, and how to work with students and providers to structure an appropriate placement. We need to ensure that employers are well informed and well-disposed to offer placements in the uncertain period as we emerge from the covid19 pandemic building on previous employer support package work in this area. This procurement competition will put in place a new programme of support building on the success of the previous model and will involve: - raising awareness of T levels and industry placement among employers, including targeting specific routes that are proving particularly problematic. - providing the department with intelligence on employer behaviour and employment patterns - updating existing guidance including with new materials where appropriate and identifying any new guidance that might be needed. - delivering online webinars which can be recorded and accessed at any time; - providing a dedicated response team ### Lot Information Lot 1 T Levels are at the heart of the drive to improve Technical Education.
