## Summary

The YPO is inviting providers to join a Framework Agreement titled "YPO - 001086 Apprenticeships" for the provision of Apprenticeship Standards and Associated Training within the education and training services industry category. The framework aims to serve public sector organisations and YPO's internal needs, with an emphasis on growth through potential collaborative partnerships. The procurement process is governed by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and follows a selective procurement method via a restricted procedure. Located in Wakefield, UK, the framework is active from 1st August 2023 and is set to run until 31st July 2027. Key features include the flexibility to add new standards and providers during its tenure, with standards updated monthly as approved by the Institute for Apprenticeships & Technical Education.

This framework presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in education and training services to expand their influence within the public sector. It encourages small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and large organisations alike to participate, without limitation on provider numbers per standard. Given the ongoing need for apprenticeship schemes across various regions, businesses with expertise in training and skill development might find competitive advantages in joining this framework. Moreover, the framework's design accommodates regular updates and additions, allowing adaptable providers to align their offerings with emerging market demands and standards throughout its four-year duration.

## Notice

YPO are looking for providers to be appointed onto a Framework Agreement for the provision of Apprenticeship Standards and Associated Training. The Framework is designed to meet the needs of all public sector organisations which includes YPO's internal requirements. YPO may seek to introduce collaborative partners to this Framework throughout its duration to support growth.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The routes are as prescribed by 'Skills England'. These were defined using labour market information regarding the size and nature of occupations grouped to reflect shared requirements for occupationally related skills and knowledge. The routes are listed on the left hand side of the Skills England website: https://skillsengland.education.gov.uk/apprenticeships/ YPO will list all routes, along with standards which are approved for delivery, and providers will have the ability to select which standards region they are able to deliver in when bidding for the framework. The routes will be as listed by the Skills England guidance. The framework will replicate the structure that is provided by Skills England. If the structure is amended by the institute then the framework structure will be amended to run in-line on the next quarter update. Please be advised that Skills England has the ability to change the title of routes and move standards into alternative routes based on feedback from contracting authorities, YPO reserve the right to follow the same process based on Skills England's direction. Any new routes will be added onto the framework on a quarterly basis with the subsequent standards aligned under them. On a quarterly basis YPO will add on new developed standards as they appear on the above website, the number of standards will continue to grow and will be updated in the documents. Providers will be able to bid for all live standards that have been listed from the beginning of the framework and all new standards that are added by Skills England throughout the duration of the framework. The standards are each listed on the Skills England website and can be found at: https://skillsengland.education.gov.uk/apprenticeships/ At the point of the framework being published there will be: - 11 regions - 15 routes

Options: The Framework Agreement will cover the period from 1st August 2023 to 31st July 2026, with the option to extend for up to an additional 12 months (subject to an annual review and KPI performance). A decision to extend the framework beyond this initial term will be taken by April 2026 and will be dependent on satisfactory completion of all aspects of the contract to date, the current market conditions for this category and YPO's contracting structures. The maximum contract period will therefore be four years, from 1st August 2023 to 31st July 2027.
