Description

The ESFA is procuring a Framework Agreement for a small number of high-quality End Point Assessment Organisations (EPAO), who would be ready to act on an emergency basis as EPAO for Apprentices on a named apprenticeship Standard. This could occur if there is no EPAO already in place, for example if an Apprentice's planned EPAO had exited the market. EPAOs that are awarded a place on the Framework Agreement are called "Framework Suppliers". The ESFA wants to ensure that it has appropriate coverage for assessment of every Standard and every geographical location in England.
