The procurement process follows an open procedure, which allows any eligible organisation to apply. This project entails delivering Graduate Level Apprenticeships that integrate work-based learning alongside degree qualifications, accredited by recognised learning providers.

This tender presents significant opportunities for educational institutions, particularly those offering vocational training and qualifications.

## Notice

Graduate Level Apprenticeships (GLAs) are work-based learning programmes at SCQF levels 8, 10 or 11 that lead to degree level qualifications. They allow an individual to work and gain a degree at the same time. They will be nationally recognised, accredited, and certificated by a learning provider, usually a university. In the case of GLAs at SCQF level 10 or 11, they lead to a higher education degree or postgraduate award. At SCQF level 8, they lead to an award with 240 credits, the same level as an HND, but are not restricted to HNDs and are work-based.
